ITANAGAR, NOV 5:

The Chairman of the State Council for IT & e-Governance, Nyamar Karbak, held a detailed meeting with officials from BSNL, Jio, and Airtel to explore ways to strengthen digital connectivity across Arunachal Pradesh.

The discussion focused on setting up Wi-Fi booths at major institutions like Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) and Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (TRIHMS), along with other key locations.

Karbak also proposed working with the telecom service providers (TSPs) to conduct awareness drives on cyber security and various digital initiatives. The review of ongoing USOF 4G projects in the state was another major agenda item.

Speaking at the meeting, Karbak highlighted the crucial role of the telecom sector in driving India’s digital transformation. He urged the service providers to look beyond commercial goals and take proactive steps to enhance connectivity in remote and rural areas of the state.

Citing several IT and e-Governance initiatives successfully rolled out in Arunachal Pradesh, the Chairman stressed the need for stronger last-mile connectivity so that people at the grassroots can truly benefit from government-led digital programmes.

He further emphasized the importance of close coordination between telecom operators, local authorities, and the state government.

A collaborative and planned approach, he said, would help build an inclusive, resilient, and future-ready digital infrastructure – one that supports both economic growth and the overall development vision of Arunachal Pradesh.
