The Chhattisgarh government plans to install more than 5,000 mobile towers, particularly in tribal dominated Surguja and Bastar regions, in a phased manner within a defined timeline.
This information was given by officials during a high-level review meeting of the state's Electronics and Information Technology Department at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai.
CM Sai directed officials to accelerate installation of mobile towers and fibre optic networks, particularly in remote and underserved regions such as Bastar and Surguja, an official statement said.
The CM reaffirmed the state's commitment to digital transformation, calling electronics and information technology a key pillar in the vision of 'Viksit Chhattisgarh 2047', aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Viksit Bharat 2047' roadmap, it added.
"In order to ensure governance that is efficient, transparent and accessible, it is essential to strengthen digital infrastructure across the state. Under e-District 2.0, the government will expand its current 85 online services and cover 250 more offline services soon under it, enabling citizens to access access key schemes and facilities from home," the CM said.
The CM also directed officials to upgrade the State Data Centre to Tier-III standards for enhanced digital reliability.
Additionally, the BharatNet Phase-2 proposal has been submitted to the Centre, nd an Atal Monitoring Portal has been developed to track KPIs of 100 schemes across 19 departments.
