Online file processing in Secretariat

File processing in State Secretariat is now made easy for OSS officers. Regular effort is there to make everything digital as a part of technology implementation under 5T. 
File Processing: 
OSWAS application has been introduced in Secretariat w.e.f. October 2012. With certain modifications, the updated version OSWAS 2.0 has been rolled out on 26 November, 2018. 
Facilities available-
- Dak creation, receiving and forwarding
- Noting & Drafting (English & Odia) 
- File sending & pulling
- Status of dak/file lying with
- All dak/files accessible on search

Official e-Mail ID:
Recently individual official email ID has been provided to all employees with domain odisha.gov.in.  (Ex: akbar.pal@odisha.gov.in) 
Employees can have their ID from the message box of OSWAS. 

Digital Signature:
All employees have also been instructed to creat their digital signature through OCAC. (Download Procedure) 

Draft/letter Issue:
In addition to this, because of typist cadre dying in Secretariat, Home Department have instructed all departments to have the facility of auto issuance of drafts/letters in concerned sections instead of issue section through OSWAS. (Download.pdf) 

Hence, now it can be said that within a few months the whole system of file works (Dak receive - file processing - Draft issue) will be digital. It will help in transparency, easy processing, saving of time and paper.
