The Telangana government aims to provide Internet connectivity to all households in the state under its ‘Digital Telangana’ initiative, IT Secretary Jayesh Ranjan said here today.
“We are trying to ensure providing Internet to each and every household in the state,” he told a Ficci-organised seminar on ‘Integrated Digital Solutions for a Smarter Telangana’.
“We are making this ambitious target of providing Internet to every person in different ways through broadband connectivity, 4G, Wi-Fi and e-panchayats. We will ensure that ‘Internet For All’ does not mere just remain a slogan,” he added.
Digital Telangana rests on two important pillars – supply component (“Internet For All”) and demand component (“Let us usher in Digital Democracy”), Ranjan said.
“We are working on laying optic fibre to every household. There are more than 8.5 million households in the state and the opportunity that has arisen for us to accept such a daunting challenge,” he added.
