A joint working group between the company and state government officials will be formed for effective implementation of the LoI.

It said, “Under this LoI, the pilot project plans to connect Common Service Centres (CSCs), e-Governance facilities, government schools, district disaster management control rooms, ports, and wildlife sanctuary areas. This will prove to be a significant step towards digital inclusion in the state’s tribal districts, including Aspirational Districts such as Narmada and Dahod.”

It added, “Under this initiative, smart connectivity for education in state schools, as well as healthcare and tele-medicine services at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), will be made available easily and rapidly. Alongside this, joint training programmes for capacity building of various government agencies, departments, schools, and disaster response teams will be planned in the future.”

The LoI also covers strengthening connectivity in GIDC industrial parks, highway safety systems, maritime and port connectivity, and coastal police operations across the state.
