Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that K-Smart, the State Government’s ambitious project to make available services of local self-government bodies digitally over a uniform platform, will be particularly helpful for 40 lakh-odd non-resident Keralites (NoRKs).
Delivering the inaugural address marking the Statewide launch of K-Smart in Kochi on January 1 (Monday), Mr. Vijayan said that the technology-driven project will prove to be an intervention that will mark an end to the hardships of NoRKs in making personal visits back home to find solutions to their problems.
K-Smart is a first-of-its-kind system in the country making available all services of local body institutions in a single click. The Kerala Government has adopted a policy of utilising the growth of technology for the development of various sectors of society. The education sector, where 45,000 classrooms have been turned hi-tech, is an example, the Chief Minister said.
