E-office Government at Center?- It is possible only by 2025, unless Modi pushes and decides to push it as he did in Gujarat. It is a long road to e-office.
 In 2005, Previous government included e-office as a core mission mode project  under the National e-Governance Plan.
 In 2006, the National e-Governance Plan was approved by the cabinet and DARPG  was made the line department responsible for the e-office mission mode Project.
In 2009, NIC was selected for development of e-Office software and in September 2010, pilot projects were launched in DARPG, DIT (e-Gov division) and DoPT (training division).
Let us hope for the best.
