CBSC is now going to be completely paperless for every kind of correspondence from 1 September.

NewDelhi: CBSC is now going to be completely paperless for every kind of correspondence and exchange of information from schools. CBSE has developed a portal called e-Harkara in this regard, in which all schools will be able to send all their information, complaints, applications, suggestions etc. to the concerned departments and regional offices. CBSE has asked all schools to use the e-Harkara portal as mandatory. Along with this, it has also been informed that from September 1, CBSC will not accept any kind of offline or email correspondence.

 

According to CBSE Secretary Anurag Tripathi, CBSE has already done all the proceedings related to Affiliation, Accreditation, Examination and Academic etc. Some of the remaining arrangements were completely online during lockdown. Even after this, all kinds of complaints and applications were sent through the school paper and email. Now e-Harkara portal has been developed to make it completely online.

 

CBSE argues that while this new system will completely stop the use of paper, there will also be time to send letters to departments through e-mail and wait for its reply. The complaint related to any department of the school through the portal will reach that department directly and they will also get the answer directly. It will take minimum time. The paper will not cost anything and action can be ensured quickly.
