KARACHI, Dec 08 (APP):In a major milestone toward establishing a fully paperless, technology-driven administrative system, the Services, General Administration & Coordination Department (SGA&CD), Government of Sindh, has signed an agreement with Sukkur IBA University to formally launch and implement the Sindh e-DAFTAR system.
The agreement was signed by Secretary General Administration & Coordination Department, Muhammad Ali Khoso, and the Vice Chancellor of Sukkur IBA University Prof. Dr Asif Ahmed Shaikh.
The event was officially witnessed by the Chief Secretary Sindh, Asif Hyder Shah.
Speaking on the occasion the Chief Secretary Sindh Asif Hyder Shah Said that The Sindh e-DAFTAR system aims to replace conventional paper-based file movement with a modern, technology-driven digital workflow. Through this system, government offices will be able to process and track files in real time, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and efficiency in administrative operations.
The initiative incorporates advanced features such as device-bound access control, digital signatures, and secure decentralized document storage.
These measures ensure that files remain protected from loss, unauthorized changes, or misplacement, and that every stage of the file’s movement is fully traceable. Officers will be able to manage their tasks more efficiently through integrated dashboards that provide a clear overview of their workload and pending assignments, ultimately leading to faster decision-making and improved governance outcomes.
Under the agreement, Sukkur IBA University will offer extensive technical support, system enhancement, and capacity-building services to ensure smooth implementation. The university will assist in training government officers, upgrading system features, and strengthening cybersecurity measures to ensure that the e-DAFTAR system remains reliable and fully adapted to departmental needs.
This collaboration reinforces the government’s commitment to integrating academic expertise and modern technological practices into its administrative reforms. The transition to digital file processing also carries significant cost and environmental benefits.
By reducing reliance on physical documents, the government will minimize paper use and associated expenses, contributing to environmentally responsible governance and enabling resources to be allocated more effectively. The initiative represents a strategic step toward building a system that is not only efficient but also sustainable in the long term.
