Target is to provide 19,000 IT workstations by 2024: Mekapati
The government has set itself a target of creating 19,000 IT workstations by 2024, according to IT and Industries Minister Mekapati Goutham Reddy. “The government is working on creation of digital infrastructure up to the panchayat level such as high-speed Internet at villages and digital libraries with video conferencing facility in the village / ward secretariats,” Mr. Goutham Reddy said while addressing the CXO roundtable here on Friday. The idea was to develop all the 19,000 village secretariats into digital laboratories. “Additionally, five to six workstations will be provided in every gram panchayat for use as co-working spaces by professionals or entrepreneurs,” he said.
