Taking his innovative use of social media and latest technology to the next level, the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi today addressed the 18th National Conference on e-Governance through Twitter. This is the first time such an address has taken place through Twitter.
The Prime Minister tweeted: “Good morning friends! I am delighted to join the 18th National Conference on e-Governance through Twitter. I wanted to personally attend the conference but was unable to do so. However, there was no way I could miss interacting with you.
I thought- despite not attending, how can I connect with you. That is when I decided to use technology and talk to you via this medium.
Am told this conference brings together several delegates from Central and State Governments, Armed Forces, Academia, Industry and private sector.
The participants and their expertise make this conference a perfect forum to look at the way forward to effective and efficient e-Governance. I am also told that 22 awards will be presented in 12 categories. I congratulate all the award winners and laud their efforts.
