MUMBAI: Government services would soon be available online in Maharashtra as bidding for the e-governance project is under evaluation.

The Maharashtra government has marked this calendar as the IT year and the computerisation process in is in full swing and will soon reach the people's door steps.

"There is an urgency in the state to set up e-governance as the Chief Minister has declared the year as IT year. The expectations are also very high from the state," IT Chief Secretary Kshatrapati Shivaji said.

"Currently the bidding is in process," he added. There are many plans under e-governance among which computerisation of government system and setting up kiosks is on priority, he said.

The state is planning to computerise the government offices from Mantralaya upto Tehsil level by using broadband of 6 Mbps line which can be upgraded to 32 Mbps if required.

"There is lack of communication among government servants. Computerisation of the government offices will connect all offices up to Tehsil level," Shivaji said.
