Social media’s rising influence in our lives has failed to find favour with government departments in Rajasthan. While central government and other state governments have been using Twitter and Facebook to resolve common man’s day-to-day problems, Rajasthan miserably lags behind.
Zee Media’s investigation revealed that people have been trying to connect with government departments but don’t get response. What is highly disappointing is that departments providing basic facilities like water, electricity and road are not active on the social media. Personally, ministers and officers are active on social media but don’t give much importance to social media presence of their departments.
Unlike other states where government departments are active on social media, in Rajasthan people have to run around in government offices to get their work done. Even district collectors and superintendents of police are not very social media savvy. Only Jaipur traffic police and RIICO are somewhat active on the social media.
It is ironic that a state where chief minister is very active and influential on social media, the government departments have a lethargic attitude towards social media and making mockery of e governance.
