Tech-savvy Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu motivated his Cabinet colleagues to use iPad and become part of history-making first ever paperless e-Cabinet meeting. From the elderly K. E. Krishnamurthy to young Peetala Sujatha, Ministers carried iPads with e-Cabinet app in their hands instead of bundles of files and papers they used to do earlier.
The paperless meeting marked the completion of 100 days by Chandrababu Naidu government.
Touch screens
A beaming Mr. Naidu told senior journalists later that none of them faced any problem in handling the gadgets as they all had easy to operate touch screens.

From going through the agenda e-mailed to them in advance to discussing various issues, the Ministers believed to have switched over to electronic format with ease. The minutes of the meeting too were electronically recorded.
The Chief Minister began the meeting with a power-point presentation while Muncipal Administration Minister, P. Narayana who also heads advisory committee on capital, briefed them about his recent tour to Gandhinagar, Chandigarh and Naya Raipur.
Like in his previous tenure, Mr. Naidu is aggressively promoting use of technology in governance. For the e-Cabinet, a new file-sharing system has been put in place using the FileCloud tool.
Enquiries
The e-Cabinet meet created quite a stir with sources in the government pointing out that even the Prime Minister’s Office got inquisitive about the innovative e-Governance platform and made enquiries.
