Digital Telangana stands on two pivots; each of them 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 :
- Laying OFC to each household using the water grid trenches
- Providing 5G services in the entire state
- WiFi in major cities and towns
- e-Panchayat scheme under which a One Stop Shop kiosk will be available in each Panchayat
Similarly, on the demand side, the intention is to make each and every person digitally 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:
- Digital literacy program, under which one member of each household will be taught to become digitally literate
- School computer literacy program: To teach every child from Class 6 onwards the basics of computers
- Expansion of Mee-Seva services
- Converting as many Mee-Seva services as possible on mobile platform and make mobile governance a reality in Digital Telangana
- Identifying technology solutions for all government agencies to provide better services to the citizens
Government of Telangana has turned the vision of Digital Telangana a reality by facilitating the telecom partners to choose Hyderabad as one of the first cities in India to implement 5G communication services pilot; enabling WiFi facilities at more than 3,000 locations across Hyderabad including government schools, basti dawakhanas, hospitals, public libraries, shopping malls and Metro rail stations; expanding Mee-Seva services and working towards the goal of One Stop Shop (OSS) kiosks at each Gram Panchayat.
