The Science and Technology department has approved the purchase of several laptops, over 250 servers, hundreds of desktop computers and 40 projectors to give a massive boost to the state's non-existent I&T infrastructure.
State Science and Technology Minister Dr. Anil Kumar said once all the ministers and top-ranking administrators have been equipped with computers, the state will move to furnish computers and necessary software to each district and block offices in order to bring the IT revolution in the state government that is notoriously behind in the race in comparison to other states in the country.
As reported earlier, the state government, also gave away brand-new luxury SUVs to all of its ministers and MLAs at a whopping cost of Rs. 3.8 crore.
