This transformative initiative will enable the government to proactively engage the citizens and bring them closer to the government .
It gives me immense pleasure to share with you that inputs from our esteemed Members of Parliament and my Cabinet colleagues have helped shape fifteen different citizen centric schemes and programmes by leveraging technology that we are already rolling out in Chhattisgarh as part of the Digital India initiative. The people of the state will see the impact of these schemes in various aspects of their day-to-day lives.
I compliment the people of Chhattisgarh for the widespread participation in the celebration and I am confident that the success of Digital India Week will act as a catalyst for the spread of digital awareness in the state paving way for embracing technology for a better tomorrow.

DigiTal iNDia is a visionary initiative by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to propel India to its next phase of growth by leveraging technology. It will bring about a change in the way governments function and people interact with it, catalysing an inclusive growth and development. Chhattisgarh has been at the forefront of digital revolution and under the able guidance of our Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Raman Singh, the state is poised to achieve greater heights in e-governance by rolling out Digital India.
The state wide celebration during the Digital India Week was a reflection of Chhattisgarh’s e-preparedness. The widespread connectivity at the district and panchayat level helped us connect our people to participate in the celebrations.
During the week, the Hon’ble Chief Minister launched 15 schemes that would help Chhattisgarh build on its existing capability in the field of e-governance and grow from strength to strength.
The Chhattisgarh leg of Digital India Week was a resounding success and has set the stage for ensuring that every last citizen of the state is empowered through access to information and services from the government.
We are confident that under the guidance of Chief Minister, Shri Raman Singh, we will achieve greater heights in e-governance and realise the goals of the initiatives launched by him.

Mobile and cloud are changing the world more rapidly than any
other technological advance in the history of the world ever has. Digital
technologies have the power to empower and change the lives of every
citizen.
Under the inspired leadership of our Chief Minister, Shri Raman Singh,
Chhattisgarh is at the forefront of adopting technology for governance and
has many firsts to its credit. Internet connectivity is available till every
block headquarters, and the government is continuously striving to roll out
cutting edge digital infrastructure such as 4G and Wifi throughout the state.
However, connectivity and access are necessary but not sufficient for
bridging the digital divide. Enabling policies, programmes and practical
ideas are equally important. Chhattisgarh is the first state in India to have
a comprehensive IT Policy and was adjudged the best for its e-governance
initiatives in 2011.
The spadework done by the state in the last decade has helped the
administration prime itself to embrace the Digital India initiative. The state
is further striving to provide fillip to nine pillars of growth areas identified
under Digital India. The weeklong celebration of Digital India gave us a
perfect opportunity to dovetail our initiatives for maximum impact. The
State Administration showcased our initiatives and success in creating an
effective government- citizen interface.
Schemes launched by Hon’able Chief Minister during the Digital India Week
has galvanised the entire state to help achieve the Prime Minister’s vision --
“minimum government and maximum governance”.

on July 1 Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi marked the beginning of a new revolution in India– the Information Technology revolution, also called the Digital India.
While dedicating Digital India to the nation the Prime Min-ister very rightly said “I dream of Digital India where the world looks to India for the Next Big Idea.”
The visionary that the Shri Modi is he also said “We need to understand this --- that’s the need of the hour. If we don’t , we will be left far behind the rest of the world”.
The question today being asked is what exactly is Digital India ?To put it simply, the ambitious Rs 1.13 lakh crore Digital India project is aimed at opening up digital access for all In-dians through creation of a digital infrastructure that would make sure that government functions and services can be availed by all citizens across the nation.
The Prime Minister has articulated that Digital India initia-tive is aimed at improving the lives of the common man. He said “India may have missed the Industrial Revolution, but will not miss the IT revolution. “
The Prime Minister has also assured full support to young entrepreneurs who wished to launch Start-ups. He called upon the youth to innovate and said “Design in India” is as important as “Make in India.”
Interestingly the Prime Minister himself is very technology savvy. He is among the world’s most popular leaders in the digital space with over 80 lakh followers on Twitter and over 3 times that number – or 2.5 crore followers -- on Facebook.

CHiPs: the nerve Centre for initiativesThe Chhattisgarh Infotech & Biotech Promotion Society (CHiPS) has been at the forefront of turning the vision into a reality. It has worked to bring government to citizen services online, increase government to government e-communication and train government and citizens to avail the benefits of IT enabled services and create information driven society.
Government to Citizen Interface: To promote the concept of “anytime-anywhere” government, a service named CHoiCE has been developed. CHoiCE is an acronym for Chhattisgarh online Information and Citizen Empowerment. It provides almost all G2C (Government to citizen) services such as Birth & Death Certificates, Caste

Certificates, Income Certificates etc. It is the biggest open source e-Governance project in India.
Today the state has 2nd largest deployment of fixed WiMAX in the country that provides 3000 locations with the state. For the first time in the country, Private Citizens (CHoiCE Agents) have been notified as Public Servants under IT Act thereby enabling them to process government documents in the year 2003.
The Common Service Centre (CSC) is one of the flagship initiatives of the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP). It has been implemented by CHiPS with full vigour and gusto. The CSCs provide high quality and cost-effective voice and data content and services in the areas of e-governance, education, health, telemedicine and entertainment primarily in rural areas. The services include various application forms, certificates, and utility payments such as electricity, telephone and water bills. CHiPS has already completed the NeGP target of setting up 3385 IT enabled Kiosks in the State of Chhattisgarh. The e-kiosks have been awarded in four divisions of the state namely Durg, Raipur, Raigad and Korba.
CHiPS have implemented e-Procurement solution for the Government of Chhattisgarh. The whole purchase cycle including works, goods and services has been automated from beginning to the end.

The Soceity has also launched an innovative scheme for rural areas. eGram Suraj is one-of-its-kind application specially aimed at Panchayat & Rural Development Department using indigenous handheld device called Simputers. The Sarpanchs (village heads), with the help of Simputers, are being given decision making support with the help of robust application and data base. The project has been implemented in 873 Gram Panchayats of 10 blocks. The applications on Simputers cover various schemes like Swarna Jayanti Rozgaar Yojana (SJRY), Sampoorna Gram Swarozgaar Yojana (SGSY), Rural Housing Scheme, Social Security Pension Scheme, National Family Assistant and Maternity Benefit Scheme, Indira Awas Yojana etc.
Government to Government: The Chhattisgarh State Wide Area Network (CG-SWAN) is a path breaking initiative to provide the State with a basic information technology backbone to carry voice, data and video to facilitate interdepartmental communication and data sharing within the State. CG SWAN has 1 state headquarter (SHQ), 17 district headquarters (DHQ) and 133 block level headquarters (BHQ). It has already
been successfully integrated with National Informatics Centre (NIC), National Knowledge Network (NKN) and Chhattisgarh Data Centre.
The Society has also executed an innovative project called ‘CM Dashboard’ which gives a dashboard view of governance to Chief Minister supported by on-site advisory services by a dedicated team and global offshore advisory services by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). This helps is getting a macro view of governance which can be drilled down to minute details of any programs/projects/schemes etc. It is a very important strategic & tactical tool for policy makers and decision makers. It is the first of its kind project for any State in India and is being replicated by Central and other State Governments.
Training: Along with installing hardware and infrastructure a lot of emphasis has been given in training the human resources. CHiPS has undertaken IT training for 4500 state government employees and specialised programmes for the senior bureaucrats and political executives.
