Taking his innovative use of social media and latest technology to the next level, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the 18th National Conference on e-Governance through Twitter and added the Centre is committed to realising the dream of a Digital India.
This is the first time such an address has taken place through Twitter.
“Centre is committed to realising dream of a Digital India, with a vision to make India a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy,” tweeted Prime Minister Modi.
“We are actively working to create a robust digital infrastructure that would serve the interests of our citizens and transform their lives. E-Governance is an essential part of our dream of Digital India. The more technology we infuse in Governance, the better it is for India,” he added.
He further expressed his certainty that technology and e-Governance will make processes simpler and remove several obstacles slowing the pace of work and progress.
“While we look at e-Governance, let us think about ‘mobile first’ and thus give importance to m-Governance (mobile governance),” he said.
Prime Minister Modi further urged people to explore ways to provide as many services as possible through mobiles and added, “Let us bring the world into our mobile phones!”
“The youthful energy that our Nation possesses is our prized asset. Giving an impetus to skill development through technology is essential. Scale and speed at which we have to take India’s development journey requires maximum and smart utilisation of latest technology,” he said in a series of tweets.
“I am sure this all-India conference will become a focal point of several innovative ideas that will help our Nation in the years to come,” he concluded while conveying best wishes to everyone in the conference.
Recently, during President Obama’s visit to India, the Prime Minister had shared through ‘SoundCloud’ the special episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat.’
He also shared a native video on Facebook and an audio tweet and video tweet of glimpses of his speech at the NCC parade on 28th January. (ANI)
