New Delhi: Delhi University's majority of activities including those pertaining to the administration and finance departments are now linked to the varsity's E-Samarth site, taking the university one step closer to becoming totally paperless.
According to a DU official, the university has been taking many initiatives to effectively make most of its operations, such as admission and examination online.
Professor Sanjeev Singh, Joint Dean Admission, who heads the DU paperless project stated, "We have linked administrative and accounting work to Samarth in the last few months. We are in the process to link everything to Samarth. We are successful in making most of our processes online."
He further said that the university is currently paperless, with the exception of a few procedures where switching from paper to online is challenging.
"On the surface and administrative level, we are paperless. But in nuances, we cannot say it is completely paperless because several processes like examination and mark sheet require paper printing. Though its digital version is available, there is a requirement for a print version. Attestation of the documents and all other notifications have to be printed," he added.
Around 2016, Delhi University began the process of moving all university functions online. However, the initiative has accelerated in the recent six months, with major operations being linked to E-Samarth.
The university is trying to make printing redundant and authorities believe that all stakeholders' involvement is required to accomplish this. Balaram Pani, Dean of Colleges, stated that digitization will assist streamline the university's operations and minimise dependence on paper.
Balaram Pani said,” We are making most of the administrative work and accounting work digital. We are creating a digital library. We are creating a digital data bank. We will link all these with Samarth. It takes time to digitalise years of data. We are in the process".
