Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government will optimally utilise e-governance to provide better services to people of the state, Chief Secretary Alok Ranjan said today. Ranjan said necessary action will be taken on priority to make Uttar Pradesh an e-governance state. He said people will not need to run around government officials for minor problems, instead their issues will be conveyed to departmental officials through e-mail and SMSes for a time-bound resolution.
More use of IT systems is required to carry the benefits of public welfare schemes of the government to the people, he said.
“Very soon workshop will be organised for adoption of IT in improving the process of monitoring and implementation of policies,” he said.
