Here’s a detailed overview of Sparrow e-Office as implemented by Indian Railways:

What Is eOffice in Indian Railways?

  • eOffice is a flagship digital initiative by the Indian government, hosted under the National e-Governance Programme. It’s designed to transform traditional paper-based office processes into a paperless, transparent, and accountable digital environment.
  • Indian Railways is one of the 350+ government organizations using this platform. It operates across divisions, zonal railways, and is supported by the Railtel network.
  • The system runs on an open architecture with cloud integration, ensuring secure, seamless intra- and inter-departmental communication and workflows.
