Indian state government email correspondence to have official status

Dear Comrades,

Indian state government email correspondence to have official status

Madhya Pradesh becomes first Indian state government to give legal status to email correspondence. 


Madhya Pradesh, one of India’s less developed states, has taken a step in to the 21st century by giving government email communications the same status as postal correspondence. 

Last month Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan approved the landmark decision which, surprisingly, puts the state of 75 million at the forefront of India’s public sector. 

All civil servants are now able to communicate with citizens and one another without reaching for the postage stamps or fax machine. According to senior officials with the state government, email will enable faster decision-making by cutting out the average five day delivery time for inter-city postal services within the state. 

The email services will be provided by India’s National Informatics Centre.
