From building on its current initiatives in local governance to implementation of specific projects in view of the impact of climate change, the policy address by Governor Arif Mohammed Khan in the Kerala Assembly on Thursday lays the road map for the Local Self-Government department in the upcoming year.
The government plans to expand the operations and efficacy of K-Smart, launched recently for delivery of services digitally to the public, into the planning, project management and accounting space of local governments.
It will also implement the urban observatory for advanced input-based and responsive decision-making for the efficient working of all important urban facilities and services. The project to convert Kerala into the first fully digitally literate State of the country through a campaign on the lines of the total literacy campaign is set to be completed this year.
