The Right to Education Act in Chhattisgarh has been digitised so that students from the below poverty line (BPL) can directly avail its benefits, says O P Chaudhary, IAS, Collector, Raipur, in conversation with Arpit Gupta of Elets News Network (ENN). Excerpts:
What initiatives have you taken for Raipur city’s development? Raipur is an emerging and one of the fastest growing cities. It has a central location and we are developing it as an economically vibrant city. We are trying to convert it into an educational and youth hub. In 2000, when Chhattisgarh was created there was not any big educational institution here. Today, we have IIT, IIM, IIT, AIIMS, NIT. We’re introducing yoga-related activities. We also have initiated fitness- based programmes. We are trying to upgrade the existing infrastructure. We are trying to provide digital services to our citizens. I strongly believe that New Raipur will become a second Smart City in coming days. All our programmes are Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) -based. We will provide all the services digitally in a smart way. We are also trying to cultivate ‘smart’ culture among our citizens.
