Arunachal Pradesh successfully set up the State Wide Area Network (SWAN) project last week to connect various offices in 15 district headquarters and 46 blocks in the state in a network. Under the project, digitalisation of database and government records will be done which would enable a common man to obtain various documents without any hassles and at considerably low cost. Besides, video conferencing facilities, the SWAN project is set to improve the functioning of the government by faster electronic transfer of information in the form of voice, video and data. Some of the flagship e-Governance projects identified for implementation included public distribution system (PDS), driving licenses and registration of vehicles, commercial taxes, and integrated financial management system.
