New Delhi: On the completion of six years of 'MyGov' Telecom and IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday said that the government's citizen engagement platform should work to become a platform for national talent integration.
Speaking at the event to mark the sixth anniversary of MyGov, Prasad called for initiatives to take citizen engagement through MyGov to every Municipal Body and to every district and every panchayat, and be a catalyst for giving a platform to the most talented minds to share their ideas.
He also called upon MyGov to enable effective data analytics and ensure that suggestions given by citizens are shared with concerned departments and mature into actionable items.
The minister said that discussion of Madhubani painters creating masks, bamboo products made in North East, experiments and innovation taking place in Tamil Nadu and Kerala should be discussed across the country.
