With “Digital India” as the theme of Delhi Pavilion at the annual Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan, the AAP aims to showcase its various digital initiatives. A senior official said the purpose is to showcase the government’s digital initiatives that have made functioning of various departments easier, benefiting the people. The decision was taken at a recent meeting chaired by deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia to take stock of the preparations for the Trade Fair which will begin on November 14. Digital India campaign was launched by PM Narendra Modi last year to ensure that government services are made available to citizens electronically by improving online infrastructure and increasing Internet connectivity. E-governance was one of the thrust areas of the Aam Aadmi Party government. In the past one-and-a-half years, the Kejriwal government has taken several initiatives, including installation of CCTV cameras and Wi-Fi facility on DTC buses and online issuance of driving licence. Besides these, the official said, various departments have also launched apps which have made their delivery of services hassle-free.
The VAT department has developed “Bill Banao, Inaam Pao” app through which the government enc-ourages people to submit bills of there purchases so that it can detect tax evasion.
