New directive requires Zoho Office adoption boosting India move toward digital self reliance.
In a significent step toward promoting digital self relience, the Ministry of Education has directed all its departments and affilated offices to adopt the Zoho Office Suit for official documentation work. The move aligns with Indian government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initative, which seek to encourge the use of indian made technologies over foreign software solution.
According to the circular issued by Under Secretary Nishant Upadhyaya, all officials are now requred to use Zoho Writer for word process, Zoho Sheet for spreadsheet work and Zoho Show for presentation.
