In order to go digital, since few years, the FDA department officials have been working on online software to give online registration and licenses to the food and drugs related applicants.
Maharashtra's Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) department has now adopted a paperless initiative in the office. The Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis distributed tabs for the food and drugs inspectors to file cases on tabs rather than filing paperwork in the office.
In order to go digital, since few years, the FDA department officials have been working on online software to give online registration and licenses to the food and drugs related applicants.
According to the FDA authority, working on tabs will help them to work faster, gain more transparency and aims at increasing the intra-office efficiency across the administration.
Chandrashekhar Salunke, Joint Commissioner, said, "FDA minister Girish Bapat has helped us to make the paperless initiative successful. It will help the field inspectors to inspect and file the cases online immediately. Tabs will be distributed in overall district offices in the state. It will help to reduce the workload of the officers."
Recently the comptroller and auditor general (CAG) report has given adverse remarks on the functioning of the FDA that the department has several vacant posts which are having a direct bearing on the performance of the department.
Speaking about how the digital step will help, Salunke, added, "It will reduce the physical work of the officers. The case will take 1-2 days to reach from one department to another, through this various department officers can see the case on the same day as soon as the inspection has been filed. An inter-office connection will improve efficiency."
Through this 428 FDA inspectors will be able to collect online data during their visits and store them in an app.
