MDA to soon implement e-Office to streamline workflow
Mysuru: The e-Office software platform, which has revolutionised administrative workflow in govt agencies, will be implemented in the Mysuru Development Authority (MDA) within the next week. The software enables seamless digital documentation of all govt records and correspondences between various sections of the authority, officials said. It allows officers at the senior level to track the status of every work at their fingertips. MDA special land acquisition officer KR Rakshith, who is in-charge commissioner of MDA, told TOI that the e-Office software facilitates officers at the senior level to track progress online. "Currently, all internal file movement at the authority is done manually, and within the next week, it will be made online. This means MDA will go paperless," he said. "As senior officers, we can track the file and its current position online and identify reasons for the delay at every level. Even the number of days delayed in attending to a file by a staffer will be shown online. Online tracking will ensure the works are done quickly without unnecessary delay," the KAS officer said. "A two-day training was organised for all staffers at MDA to start using the software, which ensures transparent administration, as directed by govt," he explained. The e-Office software allows electronic filing, workflow management, and access to govt services. The software helps digitise workflow, facilitates faster decision-making, and improves transparency in govt operations. The system features robust security protocols to protect sensitive govt data while maintaining transparency in operations. Govt employees can access the platform through secure login credentials, helping them manage correspondence, create digital files, and process applications efficiently. The software includes features like digital signatures, file noting, and document management that have significantly reduced paper usage and storage requirements. The platform facilitates faster decision-making by enabling real-time file movement between various administrative levels. Citizens benefit from this digital transformation through faster response times to their applications and queries. The platform also includes features for managing leave applications, employee records, and office inventory. Environmental benefits include a significant reduction in paper consumption and physical storage space requirements. An officer claimed that the system's mobile compatibility allows officials to access and process files even while working remotely.

Lokayukta police seek details of allotment of sites under MDA
Mysuru: Lokayukta police, conducting a thorough investigation into the Mysuru Development Authority's (MDA) controversial 50:50 site-sharing scheme, have sought details of the allotment of sites under the scheme. The special court overseeing the case granted Lokayukta police additional time until June 17 to complete their investigation and submit a comprehensive report in connection with the sites given to institutions and individuals in the land-swap scheme. Earlier, the Lokayukta probed charges against chief minister Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathi, brother-in-law BM Mallikarjuna Swamy, and a landowner, Devaraj, and submitted a report to the court clearing all charges against the CM in the case. Later, Lokayukta police bought time from the court to probe other cases. According to the Lokayukta probe, about 1,055 sites were given to various individuals and institutions, including societies, in the land-swap scheme, in which sites in developed layouts were given to owners and GPA holders for land acquired by the development authority. Superintendent of police, Lokayukta, TJ Udesha, who is the investigation officer in the case, told TOI that they sought documents of sites given under the controversial 50:50 scheme.

Following the submission of the application to MDA, the Lokayukta office received about 200 property documents, which the investigating team members are examining in each case to uncover potential irregularities in the allocation process. The MDA officials are cooperating with the investigation by providing requested documents and information, he said. The probe aims to determine whether there was any wrongdoing of established guidelines or misuse of power in the implementation of the site-sharing scheme. The investigation is particularly focused on the verification of beneficiary credentials, adherence to allocation criteria, and proper documentation of the entire process. MDA special land acquisition officer KR Rakshith, who is holding additional charge as commissioner of MDA, said the authority has been sharing all details and documents sought by Lokayukta police. Recently, the Lokayukta cops sought documents of sites given to individuals and institutions when DB Natesh served as commissioner of the erstwhile Muda, Rakshith stated. Sources claimed that the investigation agency is focusing on 42 sites given during the time of the former commissioner. Natesh earlier denied the charges.
