Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today announced setting up of a 'Digital Haryana Cell' in his office for effective implementation of various e-governance initiatives.
The chief minister, presiding over a meeting on the State Resident Data Base, said the cell would resolve problems being faced in effective implementation of e-governance projects, implementing new initiatives and would keep a close watch on the new developments taking place in the field of e-governance in the world.
The cell, which would have IT experts experienced in government sector, would soon start functioning.
He said the cell would prove a step forward in giving a major push to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'Digital India'.
