Lucknow, Jun 15 (PTI) Nagaland Higher Education Minister Temjen Imna Along on Monday said the digital revolution has broken geographical barriers and ensured that even people living in the remotest villages along the Nagaland-Myanmar border are familiar with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Addressing the valedictory session of the two-day D-3 (Digital Democracy Dialogue) ‘Triveni’ programme here, Along said digital connectivity had transformed governance and public outreach across the country.
“Today, even people in the last village on the Nagaland-Myanmar border know Modi ji and Yogi ji. This has been made possible by the digital revolution,” he said.
Along said Nagaland had witnessed significant infrastructure development after 2014, adding that the highest number of roads had been constructed in the state during this period. He said around Rs 16,000 crore was being spent on 18 national highway projects in the state.
The minister also urged digital content creators to focus on producing positive content.
According to an official statement, the three-day Digital Democracy Dialogue ‘Triveni’, which concluded on Monday, featured discussions on the UP government’s model of governance, culture and prosperity.
UP Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Social Welfare Asim Arun said democracy was not only about electing leaders but also about ensuring equality before the law.
“The future belongs to the digital revolution and we must keep learning every new development,” he said.
Arun said content creators had opened new avenues of communication and added that Chief Minister Adityanath consistently emphasised seeking public feedback on new policies.
“That is why, we also use social media as a tool to understand public opinion,” he said. PTI AR ABN KSS KSS
