To recognise Gujarat government’s efforts in embracing information technology to simplify citizen services and discuss how ICT can play a pivotal role to help citizens get better services, Express Computer in association with Microsoft India, organised Cloud for Digital Governance: The Tour, at Gandhinagar, on December 17. In addition to this, a skill development workshop was also imparted to over 150 IT cadre staff of various departments of the state government and NIC during the event.
The one-day conference is part of the Cloud for Digital Governance national program, unveiled by Microsoft in August this year, to equip government staff in charge of IT across the country with critical Artificial Intelligence (AI) and intelligent cloud computing skills. According to Microsoft, the initiative aims to conduct a series of physical and virtual workshops and train 5,000 personnel over a period of 12 months to help them leverage AI and secure cloud technology for efficient, transparent and productive governance.
Saurabhbhai Patel, Energy Minister, Government of Gujarat, was the chief guest at the conference, who said that in the last five years a lot of thrust has been given to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India initiative for which the PM has made extensive efforts to take India to new heights. He said that the PM knows where the world is going and wanted India to take the lead.
Patel remarked that Gujarat has always been at the forefront as far as industrialisation is concerned. “Today, if we want to become a five trillion USD economy, this is one sector where we will have to push very hard and a lot of investments and human resources and skill empowerment would be needed,” he stated.
