GUWAHATI (Assam), Aug 11:<\/strong> Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein jointly launched the Arunachal instance of MyGov portal and the NIC’s S3WaaS website during the launch ceremony of ‘Digital North East: Vision 2022’ here on Saturday.
\nWith this, Arunachal Pradesh has become one of the pioneer states in the northeastern region to launch the MyGov state instance.
\nMyGov Arunachal is a unique platform for citizen participation and engagement, implemented by the state’s IT & communications department in collaboration with the Centre’s MyGov team. The portal can be accessed at https:\/\/arunachal.mygov.in.
\nThe Secure, Scalable and Sugamya Website as a Service (S3WaaS) is a website generating and deployment product hosted on the national cloud of the NIC. Websites for 10 districts of Arunachal Pradesh have been successfully customized based on this platform. The S3WaaS district websites can be accessed at https:\/\/ardistricts.nic.in
\nUnion Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in his speech announced to provide budgetary support to the Arunachal Pradesh government for implementation of free space optical communication technology in Yupia, in Papum Pare district, as a pilot project.
\nThe state data centre and the state wide area network would be established and funded by the Centre under the project.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, Mein sought the intervention of the union telecom department for timely implementation of telecom projects in the state to ensure smooth rollout of IT and e-governance initiatives.
\nEnumerating the achievements and progress made by the state in the field of digital activities, the DCM informed the union minister that the Arunachal Pradesh government has identified the location for setting up the NIELIT Itanagar centre.
\nHe emphasized on continued support from the stakeholders in the state’s ambitious effort to realize the dream of ‘Digital Arunachal’.
\nMein exuded hope that the launching of the ‘Vision Document for Digital North East 2022’ would bring in accelerated implementation of various initiatives under the ‘Digital India’ programmes in the region.
\nEarlier, unveiling the plans under the ‘Digital North East: Vision 2022’, Prasad said the document emphasises leveraging digital technologies to transform lives of people of the Northeast and enhance the ease of living.
\nHe said a cloud hub for Northeast will be created in Guwahati and capacity building for 50,000 government staff will be taken up in using digital technologies, including goods & services tax and payment platforms.
\nThe number of seats planned for BPOs in the northeastern states will be doubled to 10,000 from 5,000, while the network of common service centres will be expanded to cover all villages, Prasad said.
\nThe document said high speed broadband connectivity in all the uncovered villages in the NE region shall be provided.
\nThe document identifies eight digital thrust areas – digital infrastructure, digital services, digital empowerment, promotion of electronics manufacturing, promotion of IT and IT enabled services including BPOs, digital payments, innovation & startups, and cyber security.
\nThe Vision Document aims to empower the people of the NE region and state-wise roadmaps have been developed for implementing digital initiatives.
\nThe document was released in the presence of chief ministers of Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura along with senior government officials.
\nCoinciding with the unveiling of the Vision Document, several other projects were launched for the NE states.
\nThree parallel sessions were also held in the morning, comprising a networking workshop on hub-and-spoke model for the BPOs, a session on expanding the role and reach of common service centres and another session on government e-market place.
