Official email IDs for govt staff

Hyderabad: The government decided to create electronic mail accounts for every employee working in different departments. Nearly, 2.50 lakh government employees from junior assistant to Secretary level will soon have official e-mail accounts.
Already 50,000 employees working in Industry, Municipal Administration and Urban Development, Police and Revenue departments have access to their official mail accounts.
Officials said that by this year end all the employees will be given official email accounts. Under the new email policy announced by the State recently, government banned the use of private mail accounts by the employees for the purpose of official communication and administration.
It is mandated that every employee communicate with government through official mail accounts created and approved by the State IT (Information and Technology) department.
The official email accounts were made available to all Secretaries, heads of the departments and other senior officials. The employees have been asked to use the accounts in the discharge of their duties and official communication.
The main objective behind the introduction of official email accounts usage for the employees is to promote paperless administration in the State in a phased manner. And, also to check increasing incidence of misuse of administration by anti-social elements for monetary benefits or other purposes, officials said. Police and Municipal Administration department officials were front runners in using official email accounts.
Education, Panchayat Raj and Rural Development and Agriculture departments which directly connect with public services will be provided official email accounts to ensure that the officials address the issues through mails only.
Once all the officials are provided email accounts, people will also be allowed to bring their grievances to the notice of concerned officials directly through the official mail addresses. This will help the government to monitor department wise status of all grievances online and ensure transparency and quick redressal of the issues in the future.
