Mangalur, Oct 29, 2015 : Delivering a talk on Digital India, organised by Mangaluru Management Association at SDM College Oct 26, Sahyadri Engineering College Electrical and Electronics department and Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Mangaluru Substation Chair head Dayanand Suratkal  said that digital revolution has become a reality in the field of education , but needs to be implemented in many other areas such as agriculture.  Digital India needs to have a pro-people approach.

Stating that ’Make in India’, Digital India and MyGov projects are interlinked, he said Digital India should make sure that everything is transparent. It is not only about the dissemination of information through information technology, but is about creating awareness among people on how to access it. For instance, farmers should be able to access the details of land records on their own.

The status of ration cards and other services should also be made available through the digital information system and the general public should be aware that in what way the information is made available for them. In a nutshell, the digital information should be pro-people.
