SHILLONG: Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Thursday said his government has envisaged a roadmap to enhance the delivery mechanism, where services meant for the benefit of the people are provided through different means including adoption of technology.
“As politicians and government servants, we should have a single agenda to serve the people. Our intervention has to be effective to ensure that the best, quickest and most efficient system is adopted for transparent and accountable monitoring of schemes for the welfare of the people,” the chief minister said while inaugurating a workshop on ‘Enterprise Architecture for North Eastern States’, organised by the North Eastern Council (NEC) in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC) here.
Speaking on the advantage of technology, the chief minister underlined the importance of e-governance and satellite based technology to assess flood and other natural calamities and design a response system to tackle the situation.
“The government has embarked on a mission for digital transformation but the challenge lies in sensitisation. Unless and until the public is sensitised on available technology, its effective use will be negated,” he added.
He told the gathering that through video conference the government was holding review meetings with all the DCs every second Tuesday of the month to discuss and chart out measures for effective implementation of schemes and programmes.
The tech savvy CM also elaborated on the importance of IT in governance and an approach for result oriented IT enabled services for the welfare of people.
The objective of the workshop was to chart out a long term vision for India as a Digital Enterprise. The workshop focused on digital transformation initiatives as a move towards one citizen – one government vision and build India as a digital enterprise.
