Our efforts for inclusive growth are holistic and not piecemeal; well planned and not knee jerk reactions; not for small changes but for quantum leap; making people the partners in growth not just beneficiaries; addressing the local needs by using global ideas and technology. And this is why our efforts in e-governance have been applauded the world over.
India's democracy where over 1 billion people have a voice in deciding their future is a world example of how governance can incorporate diversity into a movement for inclusive growth. New modes of democratic engagement, especially through using e-governance are allowing greater access to fundamental rights for all our people.
Since Day 1, we have maintained that ours is a Government dedicated to the poor and will continue to work dedicatedly for the welfare of the poor.
Harnessing e-governance moves the access to governance from long queues at offices to any internet point. In Gujarat, our UN awarded widely acclaimed SWAGAT e-governance system ensures that long-term grievances are resolved through use of online applications and video-conferencing across all district and block offices.
Transparency is the key to good governance & e-governance is the only effective way of transparent governance.
The beauty of e-governance is that a few keystrokes can bring smiles on a million faces.
Technology enables last mile delivery. Blending it with the will and determination to deliver, Gujarat has experienced the true power of e-governance.
India has now graduated from megawatts to gigawatts in terms of renewable energy production.
I dream of a Digital India where technology ensures the Citizen-Government interface is incorruptible.
India is once again ready to play the role of 'Vishvaguru' and work towards the benefit of mankind.
I salute the poor of our country who have deposited more than Rs 20,000 crore in Jan Dhan Bank Accounts.
I see the role of IT as a change agent. It empowers, connects and can bind isolated parts of India and create harmony. IT can join people with governments, bridge the gap between demand and supply, and can bring us closer to knowledge.
Convergence of technology is important. One people, one mission, one nation, this will be possible then.
I am happy to note that the BJP as an organization is looking to creatively harness Power of Social Media. We have to ensure our Youth stays engaged in our Democratic process. We have to make our Democratic process accessible to them. Social media is an important tool for this.
