Stating that Manipur has a very short working season due to rain, the Chief Minister said that the coming five to six months are very crucial to complete all the ongoing construction works and asked the officials to put in extra efforts to achieve it.

So far, it has been implemented in 62 departments and in all 16 districts. The total number of users created till now is 970 and the e-file created is 13872. On the other hand, 40,850 e-Daks have been created and 6848 legacy files digitized making Manipur the leading State in the entire North East region in terms of e-Office implementation.
The system will be gradually introduced in all the 68 Government Directorates and 53 Societies, Corporations, Government Undertakings and Agencies and the total number of users will be around 30,000.
