The government is organising a national conference on e-governance at Jaipur to review the action plan for strengthening the implementation of the citizen oriented service in the country.
The two-day conference, starting February 18, is being organised by the ministry of personnel, public grievances and personnel and will be attended by Information Technology (IT) managers of central and state governments, software solution providers and industry think-tanks.
The various stakeholders interact and exchange opinions and views, discuss issues and problems and also analyse various solution frameworks and necessary action plan for firming up the road map for e-governance, minister of state for personnel, public grievances and pensions, Prithviraj Chavan told reporters here today.
These conferences have proved to be very useful in creating awareness in service providers dealing with IT and have helped as a useful forum in which new initiatives of various states and central government in IT are explored, he said.
The focus of this year's conference is "ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in education- enhancing quality and reach" and topics like e-governance, leveraging mobile technology for better service delivery and public distribution system with direct access to citizens through e-governance will be discussed.
The theme for the conference this year is "e-governance from citizen's perspective" which will explore the use of ICT transforming governance from the perspective of beneficiaries
of the services, Chavan said.
