Total transparency because of IT revolution: Rebia
The concluding ceremony of the Digi Dhan Mela, an initiative to promote digital payment and cashless transaction, was held on Friday here at Banquet Hall.
Minister for Urban Development, Town Planning, Housing, Urban Local Bodies Nabam Rebia said IT revolution would bring in total transparency and accountability by ensuring that corruption is rooted out of the system. This, Rebia said, is the essence of true democracy and will thereby make India a vibrant nation.
Rebia also remembered Baba Ambedkar on his birth anniversary and stated that Ambedkar is an ideal of a true democracy. Chairman of State Council for IT and e-governance Gabriel D. Wangsu said that digitization is one of the most important mission of today’s time. He also hoped that e-governance would bring about the much needed accountability, transparency and efficiency in the system. Chief Secretary Shakuntala D. Gamlin in her keynote address said that Information Technology is empowering the citizens to take control of their own lives. She assured that digitization would ensure that the funds or stipends are electronically transferred to the beneficiary. This would lead to non diversion or leakage of funds which would further ensure that there is no mistrust between the public and the government.
Later a MoU was signed between the Department of IT and M/S PN Writer for data digitization of old records. This is significant as it symbolizes the last leg of Paperless Secretariat that was initiated last year to ensure that all government files are processed and decisions taken electronically by using digital signatures. The creation of centralized management information system for employee and pensioner of Audit & Pension department was also launched on the occasion by Urban Development Minister Nabam Rebia. A prize distribution ceremony was also held for the winners of various competitions organized at NERIST on Thursday along with handing out Certificate of Recognition to few merchants and government officials for their efforts in bringing in digitisation. Secretary IT Sonam Chombay and Special Secretary IT Prince Dhawan also spoke on the occasion.
