Dear Sir/Madam,
The Government of India has announced ‘Digital India’, which is a programme to
transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. It aims at
changing the manner in which governance and public services are provided to citizens.
‘Digital India’ also aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and
knowledge based economy, the focus being transformative, to realise IT (Indian Talent) + IT
(Information Technology) = IT (India Tomorrow). The Programme also aims at delivering
good governance to citizens by synchronized and coordinated engagement with both Central
and State Governments. Delivery of services through e-governance represents a paradigm
shift, which will involve government departments/officials changing the way they work and
tools they use to enable a faster and more efficient delivery.
The Government of Maharashtra requests you to kindly organise such events to
celebrate “Digital India” week in your college/Institution in the month of July 2015 and
inform the same to the undersigned with name of the programme organised, date of the
programme, name of the nodal officer, phone number of the nodal officer and
photographs of the event. The nodal officer RTMNU is required to compile the
