Pointing out how India can be seen in 2030, Anil Swarup, Ex-Secretary, Department of School Education & Literacy, Government of India and Ex-Secretary, Ministry of Coal, said: “Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and bots are the hot topic of the moment, but the government sector has been notorious to embrace such technology. While our Prime Minister has been promoting the Digital India initiative to make governance more accountable and transparent assuring data privacy and security, it is our responsibility as individuals to help our government too. We need to take the initiative to help government in transforming
governance, making it more transparent, accountable and participative by digitizing old government files and making accessible for everyone. Half of the cases at government sector remains closed because they require physical attendance of the officers and must deal with lot of paperwork. Digitization will help bureaucrats and citizens get rid of paperwork and have access to all the details.”
