Information Technology and Industries Minister K.T. Rama Rao has stressed the need for including more services under Mee Seva.

Mee Seva had been launched for providing quality services to the people and it is currently offering 600 services on a single platform, he said. The Minister was addressing a meeting of the Mee Seva operators here on Tuesday convened to mark completion of 10 crore transactions through the initiative.

He said the State was ranked first in the country in digital transactions because of the bold decisions taken by the government, including the land record purification and rectification exercise which was launched after 86 years. The government was committed to provide broadband connectivity to Mee Seva to ensure seamless transactions in the interest of the users.

He said the government had evolved plans to provide fibre network to every household along with the water grid that had been taken up. It was proposed to provide medical and educational services through the Internet once the fibre network was made active as teachers and doctors were not willing to work in villages. The government was promoting digital literacy in a big way and the people should learn to leverage the technological advances.

Mr. Rama Rao recalled how the government’s T-wallet had become a major success with more than three lakh people downloading the application and said the government would be able to impart digital literacy to over one crore people if the Mee Seva operators joined hands in the campaign launched in this direction.
