Avail State Services Through WhatsApp Governance: AP CM
No need for people to scout around government offices to get things done in AP
Vijayawada: Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has said the people should avail all government services through mobile phone-linked WhatsApp governance only.
He directed the officials on Monday to take up an extensive awareness programme among the people to enable them to do so. This system would limit the need for people to visit government offices to get things done.
Naidu reviewed the activities of the Real Time Governance Society with senior officials at the Secretariat here. He said, “People should not scout around government offices to avail government services. Instead, they should get them through the Mani Mitra WhatsApp online governance system.”
The CM asked officials to take up Data Lake works in an expeditious manner and ensure that farmers and others use drones in an extensive manner. Officials must create awareness among the people on how many use cases could be provided through drones. “Arrange a workshop,” he said.
The CM asked the officials from the municipal administration and public health departments to use drones to control mosquito menace. He also called all to promote the ‘Work From Home’ concept in a planned manner.
Naidu asked officials to help people find out how jobs could be available, how many people could be provided jobs in various sectors, and the required skills in the next three years.
RTGS secretary Bhaskar said the Data Lake works were complete. Under WhatsApp governance, they were able to provide 273 services, he said, and sounded confident of increasing the number to 380 by June 12.
“Through the RTGS awareness hub, we could inform the people about thunderbolts, rains, temperature and other climatic conditions. We’re going to use artificial intelligence to alert the people on their mobile phones through IVRS about thunderbolts one hour ahead of the actual occurrence,” he said.
