As per details, this marks a pivotal shift in the Authority’s approach, as it transitions towards a corporate model, embracing collaborative and tech-driven operations to streamline services and boost efficiency. Speaking at the launch event, Chairman Randhawa emphasised the importance of integrating modern technology and corporate practices to revolutionize public service delivery. He noted that these advancements are critical to improving the performance and transparency of the CDA’s operations.
The newly operational Technology and Digitalisation Wing is outfitted with cutting-edge hardware and software, designed to enhance efficiency and promote a culture of openness. The introduction of a corporate-style work environment, featuring open desks and an open-door policy, is expected to foster collaboration and increase transparency across the board.
A key highlight of this initiative is the implementation of an advanced e-filing system, transitioning the CDA from a traditional paper-based filing system to a fully digital, paperless environment. This move is expected to significantly reduce the reliance on physical documents, cutting down operational costs while improving accessibility and document management.
