Assam Secretariat to Become Fully Digitized from October 2

GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Friday that the state secretariat will go fully digital from Gandhi Jayanti (October 2) and asked all employees to gain computer skills.

While speaking at a function on the 72nd death anniversary of Assam's first chief minister Gopinath Bordoloi, which is celebrated as Lok Kalyan Diwas, Sarma said people can apply online for any work without physically visiting the secretariat.

Further, on the occasion of the first Lok Kalyan Diwas commemorating the death anniversary of Bharat Ratna Gopinath Bordoloi, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma presented Lok Sewa Award to 10 non-gazetted state-level government employees at a central function held at Dispur here on Friday.

Altogether 99 state government employees - 10 at the state level and 89 at the district level - were conferred the Lok Sewa Award in recognition to their meritorious services. As a part of the award, each awardee was given a citation, Rs 25,000 and an extension of one year of their total service tenure. Hence, an awardee of the Lok Sewa Award will be superannuated at the age 61 years.

Sarma said: "Assam is greatly indebted to Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi. It is because of his crucial role that Assam was saved from being part of East Pakistan, now Bangladesh."
