Minister of State (MoS) for Electronics and IT S S Ahluwalia said it is important that workplaces enable digital and paperless systems to help provide a carbon-free society to coming generations, reported PTI.
The minister, who took charge of his new office yesterday, said he will work towards expansion of the government’s Digital India initiatives.
“I feel that digital, paperless offices will contribute a lot to the society. We will be able to give a carbon-free society to our future generations,” he told PTI reporters.
He further highlighted the important role played by information and communications technology (ICT), referring to it as the ‘spine’ that plays critical role in the well-being of individuals. Ahluwalia was elected to Rajya Sabha in 1986 and since then, has undertaken a variety of roles across ministries like agriculture and parliamentary affairs.
