Inaugurating an e-Odisha Summit here on Friday, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said the State Government has always accorded high priority on the promotion of IT sector.
“Odisha has been in forefront in the IT revolution in the country in past 20 odd years. Four major IT players like Infosys, TCS, WIPRO and Mahindra Satyam have established their development centres at Bhubaneswar. The IT exports from the State too have been very encouraging with the State registering an export of more than Rs l, 900 crore during 2012-13,” said Patnaik.
Patnaik said with the successful rollout of e-District Project in all 30 districts for six services, the e-governance has reached the nook and corner of the State by now.
Further, the Government has brought out a new industry friendly ICT Policy-2014 with a number of incentives to boost the IT/ITES and ESDM sector in the State, revealed Patnaik.
