CPCB-eSamikSha is a real-time, on-line system for tracking follow-up action on decisions made during presentations to the CPCB Chairman by various Divisions/Zonal offices/State Boards. Each decision’s follow-up action should be updated by the concerned Divisions/Zonal offices/State Boards as soon as the status changes, or at least once a month. A log-in/password allows different users, such as CPCB Divisions/Zonal Offices/State Boards/MOEF, to securely access the system (CPCB-eSamikSha, 2022). Apart from these, the CPCB Sanyojan is a portal for submission of annual reports mandated under acts and rules. Here the different State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) can share their success stories so that others can adopt them and implement them as and when necessary (SPCB Sanyojan, 2022). Both of these are the concepts from the G2G model of e-governance.
