Accordingly as part of its efforts to rev up the higher education system, the ap government has asked all universities in the state to soon go online and make all services available at the touch of a button. Meanwhile all universities have also been asked to complete end-to-end computerisation of all systems and services to improve accessibility and efficiency.
E-office will be another initiative where, apart from all staff files, paperwork will be eliminated for a seamless integration of services. The universities will then be networked online to offer integrated services to students. Private universities are already at the forefront, offering all their services to students online. Apparently our state has been a pioneer in e-governance and other IT-enabled services but strangely the universities are found to be lagging way behind.
A top official told chief minister Y S jagan mohan reddy has taken a critical view of this and directed that the institutes of higher learning rev up their efforts in this direction, and the ap Centre for Financial services and Systems (CFSS) will be the nodal agency that will help the universities achieve this task. Moreover the Higher education Department and the Finance Department held talks on this and decided to engage the CFSS for taking up end-to-end computerisation of records in all state universities.
