Transactions related to e-governance in the country almost doubled in 2015, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Monday.
“According to the government website, electronic transaction aggregation and analysis layer (eTaal), 3.53 billion transactions took place in 2014 which almost doubled in 2015 to 6.95 billion...this shows Indians’ drive for technology,” the Minister said at a conference organised by industry body FICCI.
eTaal is a portal that disseminates e-transaction statistics of national and State level e-governance projects. “Indians have a great taste for technology. They first observe it, then adopt it and finally enjoy it. Indians by temperament are innovative,” Mr. Prasad added.
