Raje is the only one alongside union minister of law and justice, and IT, Ravi Shankar Prasad, who features on the select club.
Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje features among the most influential people in digital government around the world. In a survey conducted by Apolitical, which works on most innovative ideas and solutions in government in 130 countries, Raje is the only one alongside union minister of law and justice, and IT, Ravi Shankar Prasad, who features on the select club.
In its release, Apolitical, says, “We’re excited to present our 2018 list of the world’s 100 most influential people in digital government. It’s the first of its kind to show the international spread of the field, and includes individuals from every continent.”
The list identifies people who have worked on digital technologies that are transforming nearly every aspect of lives, including, increasingly, the governments. “In every country and at every level of government, public servants and ministers are having to work out how to reform and reimagine government for the digital era. Bringing transformative digital technologies to one of our largest, most complex sectors is difficult work and the people leading this transformation are often as visionary, imaginative and determined as the tech entrepreneurs the media loves to celebrate,” the release on twitter said.
The survey concentrated on celebrating those currently working in or on digital government, rather than some of the pioneers who cut the first path through the analogue undergrowth.
Nominations were drawn from over 100 expert contributors to make the list, including digital government experts, academics and public servants. “While the list includes well-known leaders, whose every blog post finds a global readership, we have also attempted to highlight the unsung heroes who are are quietly and tenaciously updating the machinery of government. The first selection was generated by peer and expert nominations and the final selection has been reviewed by independent experts around the world,” the Apolitical said.
