Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) organised a conclave titled ‘Digital by Default’ with the theme “Digitising Business and Governance” on Saturday at Hotel Jehan Numa Palace, Bhopal.
“The world has been constantly shrinking since the inception of internet, we are more connected than ever in the history of mankind. IT integration is not a luxury anymore but a necessity, weather it is a manufacturer, trader or a service provider. New tools are enabling enterprises to stand strong in the global market & remain competitive,” said Girish Mangla during the inaugural of CII conclave on digitisation in Madhya Pradesh.
Zensar Technologies Vice President and CEO Ganesh Natarajan while addressing the session on ‘Building Blocks and Strategy for a digital State’, said, “The announcements of Digital India and Make in India have generated excitement in India and abroad. However, the real potential will be realised only if extensive use of ICT and knowledge management is done across industry sectors.”
Secretary DoIT Govt of Madhya Pradesh Hari Ranjan Rao spoke about “E-Governance - Impact and Future Prospects” and said, “The vision of the State is to make services available to citizens at their doorstep with utmost regard to transparency and accessibility. To realise this vision, we have implemented a couple of projects under the national e-governance plan (NeGP), the State Service Delivery Gateway (SSDG), e-district and e-Shakti. The public service management department has made service delivery electronic, under the Madhya Pradesh lok Seva Adhiniyam. The public services management department has opened lok seva kendras (lSKs) – a services delivery centre, run by an entrepreneur at the district level.”
Prof Ratan KK of IIM Ahmedabad addressed the gathering on Digital Marketing through Skype. The second half of the event consisted of panel discussions and interactive session between delegates and industry leaders in Information Technology.
