Addressing the National Conference on e-Governance, organised by Department of Administrative Reforms and Personnel Grievance (DARPG), Union Ministry of Personnel, along with the Government of Maharashtra, Dr Jitendra Singh said, digital transformation is essential for achieving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for “India 2022”. He said, it has to be part of a holistic eco-system based on digital technology, according to a PIB release.

Dwelling upon the theme of the conference in relation to Artificial Intelligence(AI), Deep Learning, Block Chain, Data Analysis etc., Dr Singh said it will be e-NAM for farmers, e-Hospital for healthcare including Ayushman, GeM for business, OSI for Online Services and so forth. This, in turn, he said, would lead to accomplishment of the goal of “maximum governance and minimum government”, which was envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi soon after this government came in 2014.

Dr Singh recalled, it was on a cue from Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the process of holding governance related conferences in different parts of the country was given an impetus to facilitate interaction on a wider scale among officers and administrators representing different States and Union Territories of India.
