JORHAT, July 1 - On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of �Digital India Campaign�, the Majuli Deputy Commissioner Debaprasad Misra today launched an offline application for fast processing of pension-papers of retired government employees.
A Majuli district administration source told this newspaper that Misra formally launched the �e-PPS� (Electronic Pension-papers Processing System) app at the district level function of the 4th anniversary of Digital India Campaign held at the DC�s office Conference Room at Garmur.
The source stated that the app is an innovative offline computer application through which a retired government employee�s pension papers could be processed in a very short time. The time-saving offline app has been developed locally in Majuli district by a four- member team led by Assistant Commissioner Achyut Baruah, the source informed.
Generally, the process to fill up the pension papers of a retired government employee manually requires almost five to six hours, but the new app will enable all to electronically process the papers within half-an hour only, the source said.
