Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) has gone paperless with deployment of SAP e-governance solutions by Mumbai based Highbar Technologies, an HCC group company. GSPCB’s vision to accomplish paperless with Highbar’s e-portal ‘Sustainable Workflow Platform’ enables all the approvals to be facilitated online.

The newly developed e-office was recently launched by Minister for Environment and Forest Rajendra Arlekar in the presence of GSPCB chairman Jose Manuel Noronha and other board officials. “It’s a proud moment for us as we are the only government department to go paperless after the Legislative assembly of Goa. This initiative is a major leap towards our commitment of making the board more accountable & approachable for the residents of Goa. By discarding the paper-based system we are also doing our part in saving trees from being cut as unnecessary paper use leads to wastage,” said Jose Manuel Noronha, Chairman, GSPCB.
