under-utilization of many services due to various structural bottlenecks. Government intends to take a sectoral approach to ensure that each and every service that is being offered by various government departments to the citizens is done electronically over the next coming years. While most of it will be done in-house, government will also encourage private developers to come up with e-governance solutions. E-Governance Government of Telangana will identify end to end digital solutions in a number of key sectors where the Government plays a major role. Following list includes but is not limited to some of the key e- governance initiatives under different sectors: Education – The programs under this sector are aimed at converting normal classrooms into digital classrooms. For achieving this goal, various technology providers will be evaluated and the focus will be on delivering content, evaluating students, maintaining student records and training teachers using electronic media. Agriculture – Technology will play a key role in assessing crop conditions, transferring knowledge, giving solutions, crisis management etc. Additionally, the government will use technology to help the farmer take his produce to the market with initiatives similar to e-mandi, e-choupal etc. Land Records – In line with the NLRMP (National Land Records Modernization Program), the government of Telangana will digitize land records for which the surveying and the changes in records will happen electronically Welfare – Avenues such as welfare hostels, disbursement of pensions through e-panchayats shall be actively tapped to successfully implement welfare services. Additionally, the government will work towards enabling biometric and door step deployment of welfare schemes. Ease of Doing Business – The entire chain of activities required from an investor while doing business in the state like accessing policy documents, scrutinizing availability of suitable land, applying for land and incentives, processing of his application, grant of approvals and clearances, sanction of incentives, post-implementation support will all be streamlined and made investor friendly by the application of technology. Delivery of Services through Mobile Devices (M-Governance) Electronic delivery of services are intended to make transactions with citizens a seamless and userfriendly affair. With the increasing availability of mobile handsets with the citizens there is an interesting opportunity to shift from delivery through electronic kiosks to delivery through mobile devices. It is estimated that there are 980 million mobile phones in India of which close to 320 million phones are smartphones. The pattern in Telangana is more or less the same. Mobile phone usage has reached even the remotest habitation and household. Given the advancement in technologies and the evolution of the hand-set market dynamics which is leading to a concomitant fall in device prices, the day is not far off when most of the mobile phones are also smart phones. Government of Telangana will endeavor to provide all the electronic citizen services on a mobile platform. The Government will position an in-house team and also take help from private developers and organizations to ensure a rapid roll-out of all the e-services into the mobile platform. The government intends to develop portfolio of mobile applications that are made easily available to the citizens. The government will facilitate this through telecom providers and existing application store proprietors. 29 | THE IT FRAMEWORK 2016
