The Prime Minister asserted that e-governance is an important part of the 'Digital India' campaign. He also emphasised on smart utilisation of modern technology for the country’s development.

"While we look at e-governance, let us think about 'mobile first' and thus give importance to m-governance (mobile governance)," said Modi.

“The Centre is committed to realising the dream of Digital India, with a vision to make India a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy," he added in another tweet.

"I am also certain that technology and e-governance will make processes simpler and remove several obstacles slowing the pace of work and progress," he said.
