Tamil Nadu’s new information and communication technology (ICT) policy aims at broad basing the IT industry as part of the efforts to bring development as an inclusive phenomenon.
According to K S Tripathy, chief secretary, Tamil Nadu has a well-established e-governance network in place. The state data centre is being upgraded and it will be accessible to users soon. Already, all the blocks and talukas are e-connected. In the first phase, seven districts have been identified for the purpose.
The government’s objective is to make technology reach the rural areas, and it is making an effort to set up Internet-enabled kiosks in 5400 villages in the state. [Via]
