Asserting that the state has resolved to give further impetus to War on Drugs, the Chief Minister said the State is taking measures for ensuring strict enforcement of the preventive measures jointly by the major stakeholders like the churches, village councils and the departments concerned, to eradicate the drug menace from the society.

Further, Rio said as a mark of commitment towards War on Drugs, the state is taking pledge for Drug-Free Nagaland in the Independence Day programmes in all the districts and sub-divisions.

Meanwhile, during the celebration the Chief Minister also launched the eOFFICE and eVIGILANCE applications.

The launch of these digital platforms marks a significant step towards modernizing administrative processes in the state.

The E-Office platform aims to optimize Government operations by simplifying document management and collaboration processes. It will introduce automation for tasks such as file tracking and approval workflows, expediting decision-making and fostering an environmentally friendly workspace. In line with the Digital India initiative, E-Office is set to contribute to progress through efficient technology utilization.

On the other hand, E-Vigilance, a web application developed by the Department of IT&C Nagaland in collaboration with the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, is designed to enhance transparency in administrative procedures. The application digitizes vigilance clearance for actions such as promotions and retirements, promoting an accountable and ethical approach to public services.
