The Express Computer’s (An Indian Express Group initiative) 30th edition of Digital Technology Sabha will be organised on August 24, 25 and 26 in a virtual mode. The theme of this year’s Technology Sabha is ‘Recognizing the pioneers raising the bar for e-Governance’
Every year, different e-Governance thought leaders from different states have set benchmarks by carving out a new path on the road to better governance using technology.
State and central government departments are using emerging technologies proactively to raise the bar for e-Governance.
In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, several state and central government departments have used technology in a big way to launch several initiatives that have helped citizens in the times of distress.
Express Computer recognizes and acknowledges the herculean efforts of government thought leaders who have played a vital role in raising the bar for e-Governance – which is all the more commendable in the times of the pandemic.
At the Indian Express Group, we have been part of this journey since the beginning and are excited to be part of this huge digital transformation, which has continued unabated despite these challenging times.
