According to the circular issued by Ng. Roben Singh, Director of Printing and Stationery, Government of Manipur, the adoption of a paperless working system will not halt the printing of statutory forms, booklets, and other official documents by the Directorate.
On the contrary, the initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the communication process between indenting departments/government offices and the Directorate in executing its mandated printing and publishing responsibilities.
A paperless Directorate will be environmentally friendly and will increase efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability, while also being cost-effective in delivering the Directorate’s mandated public services to both the general public and other departments, institutions, or offices under the Government.
