Come June 15, you will not need to visit the state secretariat or Vidhana Soudha to get true copies of government orders, as they will be available on the state government’s website.

Currently, procuring a true copy is considered an ordeal as one is made to run from pillar to post for it. From June 15, the document can be accessed by logging on to www.kar.nic.in, with an e-signature of the official concerned. MN Vidyashankar, principal secretary, IT, BT and e-governance, said the initiative aimed to cut the hassles faced by people who come from faraway places to Bangalore only to get a true copy of a government order.

Vidyashankar said his department had been training about 4,000 government employees working at the secretariat, including secretaries, in uploading the government orders on website. He said the project could become a reality by June 15 if everything went according to the plan.

One of the reasons cited for delay in issuing the orders is that secretaries—the authorised signatory—are on tour. If the project comes into shape, the employees at secretariat will not need to wait for secretaries to return from their tour to issue the order.
To ensure that work does not get stalled even when the secretaries are on tour, Vidyashankar said, a solution had been worked about. Employees of the department concerned would send a soft copy of the document to the secretary for approval and affixing his/her e-signature.
If the secretary wants some change to be incorporated in the document, he/she would convey it to department employees, who would make changes and resend the copy to the secretary for his/her e-signature. True copy of government order would then be uploaded on the government website, from where people can take prints.
The e-governance department was focusing only on the secretariat for this programme, but their vision was to upload government orders of all the departments on internet in due course of time.
