Modi Government should learn from E-Governance

Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh is a populated state and thus holds great importance in the development of the entire country. Modi government in the centre has launched Digital India campaign under which e-governance is an important factor. Uttar Pradesh CM Akhilesh Yadav is also setting good examples in digitally empowering Uttar Pradesh.

Akhilesh Yadav’s Government has multi-dimensional strategy to provide the benefits of Information Technology & e-governance to the society. It is for the Modi government to see that CM Akhilesh Yadav’s efforts have developed Uttar Pradesh to a state where computer literacy and awareness has reached in all areas. Under the dynamic leadership of CM Akhilesh Yadav, Uttar Pradesh ranks third best state for E-Governance in the quarterly ranking released by the Union Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEIT) on October 31, 2015.

Modi Government talks about digitization of the country and Akhilesh Yadav’s Government makes it real. We can firmly say this, because of following reasons -1.Uttar Pradesh is also a leading state in Aadhar card

generation.2.Uttar Pradesh had 174 Ongoing Projects under Direct Benefit

Transfer (DBT) for the year 2015-16, which was 6.64% of the total 2621 Ongoing Projects under DBT for the year 2015-16.

3.Uttar Pradesh, is a leading state in setting up maximum e-Governance infrastructure projects which includes projects like e-village,e-setu, e-district etc as well as Common Service Centres (CSCs), State Portal, State Wide Area Network (SWAN), and State Data Centre (SDC).

4.UP has recorded 27 crores e-Transactions in the year 2015 across all sectors like certificate issuance, land records, PDS, Transport etc and is the second top State in the Country in terms of e-Transactions.

Does the Modi Government know that under E-Governance in India, Akhilesh Yadav’s Government has digitally empowered Uttar Pradesh with so many services? Let us look at the six things that Modi Government should know:1.UP-SDC (state data center) is been established as central data

repository to which all state departments are linked for public domain information for 24x7 usage.

2.A fully automated system e-District is been rolled out in 48 Districts.3.52000 Gram Panchayats are being connected to provide high-speed

bandwidth internet connectivity upto rural & remotest area of the State.

4.16000 Common Services Centres (CSCs), Lokvani Centres & e-Suvidha kendras have been established.

5.E-Village, a Government to Citizen (G2C) service delivery initiative based on 2-I “Innovation & Improvement” Model is also being implemented to facilitate Over the counter (OTC) delivery system dispersal of various services/certificate.

6.Various initiatives such as e-Office/paperless office, e-Patravali, digital signatures, E-Procurement system have been undertaken for the transformation of the Government Machinery into digital age.

Modi government has spoken a lot about Digital India. However, these are some things about the Akhilesh Yadav government that make its e-governance praiseworthy.
