As part of the deal, the California-based firm will help these local bodies provide facilities such as electronic bill payments and online filing of grievances to its citizens.

"Overall, it will support the state's projects in water, electricity, public health and transportation outlined in the Chief Minister's infrastructure development manifesto, Vision 2018," , UST Global said in a statement.
Commenting on the deal, UST Global CEO Sajan Pillai said: "We are delighted to partner with Madhya Pradesh to build a robust framework for good governance, accelerated economic growth and inclusive social development."
