In a significant move aimed at boosting the digital landscape of India, the National e-Governance Division (NeGD), under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, has initiated State Capacity Building Workshops in collaboration with its knowledge partners. These workshops are an integral component of the Capacity Building Scheme and are designed to shed light on the vast potential of emerging technologies in enhancing service delivery, as well as shaping policies and strategies to accommodate the evolving digital landscape.

The inaugural workshop is currently underway in the state of Maharashtra, spanning from October 9th to October 12th, 2023. It has attracted the participation of over 28 officials from various departments within the state. This four-day intensive training program aims to equip policy-making public officials with the knowledge and skills required to seamlessly adopt and implement emerging technology initiatives within their respective departments.

The workshop was ceremoniously inaugurated by Ms. Nima Arora, Director IT, and saw the presence of senior officials from NeGD and the Wadhwani Institute of Technology & Policy (WITP).

A series of informative sessions were launched during the inaugural event, which will play a pivotal role in assisting senior government officials in identifying the most suitable emerging technologies for addressing their departmental requirements.

This workshop has brought together a diverse group of subject matter experts from both the industry and government sectors, offering interactive sessions that delve into real-life case studies, tool demonstrations, and a visionary approach towards translating ideas into proof of concepts, pilots, or projects.

Launched in August 2023, these workshops stand out due to the unique collaboration between the government and industry consortium. This partnership is geared towards enabling the government to effectively harness emerging technologies, thereby enhancing the delivery of public services, strengthening governance, and facilitating better-informed decision-making.

The NeGD has plans to conduct similar workshops in other states, including Kerala, Ladakh, Telangana, among others, as part of its ongoing commitment to promoting digital transformation and innovation in India’s public sector.
