The Assam government has announced that it will transition to a fully paperless system starting January 1, 2027. The initiative aims to digitize administrative workflows and reduce paper consumption across government offices.
The announcement was made by the Assam government as part of its broader digital transformation strategy. Officials said the paperless shift will begin on the first day of 2027 and will cover all state departments.
Under the plan, government offices will adopt electronic filing systems, digital signatures and online document management. The goal is to eliminate the need for physical paper in routine administrative tasks.
Authorities expect the move to improve efficiency, reduce storage costs and contribute to environmental sustainability. Training programmes for staff will be rolled out ahead of the implementation date.
While the exact budget and technology partners have not been disclosed, the government emphasized its commitment to a seamless transition to a paperless administration by the target date.
