Digital Telangana
DIGITAL
TELANGANA
In line with the 'Digital India' of the Government of India and the
Telangana Government has planned for a very ambitious Digital Telangana
programme, with two pivots, one each representing the supply and the demand
side.
On the supply side, the main aim is to ensure that digital facilities become
available to each and every person in the state. This is being made possible
through (i) optical fiber connection to each household through using the water
grid trenches, and (ii) providing 4G services in the entire state in collaboration
with various telecom operators.
Similarly, on the demand side, the intention is to make each and every person
digitally literate, aware and empowered so that he/she can make best use of
the digital facilities that are being made available right at his/her doorstep. The
strategies for this include: (i) the Digital Literacy Programme aimed at making
at least one member of every household digitally literate in the next five years
and (ii) the School Computer Literacy Programme targeted to teach the basics
of computers to every child from Class 6 onwards.View entire presentation
