Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh Government will be extending its e-Governance initiative, ‘Mee Seva’ to all the districts. This was disclosed by the Chief Minister, Mr N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, in his inaugural address at the annual IT summit, Advantage AP 2012, which began here on Thursday.
Launched in November 2011 with the help of latest technology tools such as digital signatures, ‘Mee Seva’ is now offering about 30 services such as offering birth and death certificates to people in 13 districts.
“Today, there are 28,000 requests being processed every day. This will be ramped up to over one lakh transactions a day covering at least 100 services soon,” Mr Reddy said.
The common man in the State was able to obtain essential certificates in a digital, encrypted and secured format across the counter with almost no human intervention at a nominal fee, he added.
The State has many advantages for the ICT industry including talent. “Andhra Pradesh alone generates close to 30 per cent of the country’s total engineering talent output. This is in addition to the ‘walk to work’ kind of physical infrastructure,” he said.
“The outer-ring road project will be completed by next year. For better security and law and order, 3,000 cameras are being installed in important locations,” the Chief Minister said.
The State should be considered by the Union Government as one of the states for the proposed pilot project on electronic system design and manufacturing clusters, he said, adding all the logistics would be kept in place for the project.
For the year 2011-12, the export and domestic turnover of the ICT industry in the State was estimated to be around Rs 53,000 crore with a direct employment of 3.5 lakh, Mr Reddy said.
