It resulted in a more efficient work culture and enhanced services for Indian citizens. 

6- Real-Time Governance: By leveraging digital services, the government may quickly answer citizen grievances and monitor infrastructure projects, incidents, and meteorological and climatic phenomena across the state in real time.
