Naidu also said his government was making efforts towards real-time governance with cutting-edge technology. “By March end, we are planning to become paperless offices. My government is online now. Every citizen will have an optic fibre connection. If any citizen has any problem, he can get it sorted out with a single call or representing the issue online,” he said during a session on ‘Technologies for Tomorrow’ on the second-day of the CII Partnership Summit in Vishakhapatnam.
He said by using technology, the state will be able to monitor every aspect of governance. “It is a unique experiment. I have found no other government where this is being done. We want to use technology for the overall benefit,” he added.
On Sunday, the Andhra Pradesh government signed nine MoUs worth Rs 9,341 crore with the potential to create 5,700 jobs in the aerospace and defence sectors.
