The CM was addressing a programme organised to launch different digital projects of the Information Technology department and National Information Centre (NIC) at the State secretariat on Wednesday.

The CM further averred that the all the websites are developed in the S3WaaS (Secure, Scalable and Sugamya website as a Service) framework and will prove to be a milestone in cyber security.
In the programme, the CM directed the departments to improve their setup for better implementation of digitalisation. He also asked the departments to keep their websites updated.
