Madhya Pradesh would soon become an “ideal state” in the field of e-governance with police offices, jails, hospitals and other services coming under it, Mr Sam Pitroda, Advisor to the Prime Minister, said.
“Besides establishing systems like e-order, e-summons and e-library, police offices, hospitals and jails would also be controlled through e-governance,” Mr Pitroda told mediapersons here last night after calling on the Chief Minister, Mr Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
It would be beneficial for the state to also link universities, reserved institutes and industrial groups with knowledge network, he said, adding that e-connectivity would also be made available to all the gram panchayats soon.
The number of pending cases in courts can also be brought down considerably with the use of information technology under e-court scheme, he said.
Mr Pitroda said education, health and rural development were priority sectors for Madhya Pradesh.
He said that Bhopal could become a global-level ‘environment city' because of its biological, botanical and natural wealth as well as sources of traditional energy.
