PM's twitter address to the 18th National Conference on e-Governance

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the 18th National Conference on e-Governance through Twitter. This is the first time such an address has taken place through Twitter.

The Prime Minister tweeted "Good morning friends! I am delighted to join the 18th National Conference on e-Governance through Twitter."

Not being able to personally attend the conference, PM Modi thought of using technology to communicate. He congratulated all the award winners and lauded them for their efforts. He expressed his delight at the theme of this year's conference which revolved around digital governance, skill development and employability. "Centre is committed to realising dream of a Digital India, with a vision to make India a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy," said PM.

"Technology and e-Governance will make processes simpler and remove several obstacles slowing the pace of work and progress," said Modi.

Modi praised the youthful energy of our nation which is our prized asset. He urged people to explore ways to provide as many services as possible through mobiles. Scale and speed at which we have to take India's development journey requires maximum and smart utilisation of latest technology.

I am sure this all-India conference will become a focal point of several innovative ideas that will help our nation in the years to come.

Once again, my best wishes to everyone in the conference. Thank you very much."
