Message From The Minister’s Desk

I am delighted and privileged to release the annual report of the Information Technology, Electronics and Communications [ITE & C] Department for the fourth year in a row. I feel proud that this practice of putting out our activities and accomplishments in the public domain brings new standards of transparency and accountability both for me as the Minister, and also amongst all my officers.

The IT sector in Telangana has continued to show a very impressive growth in this year also. Like the previous three years, we continue to show growth figures much above the National average. There is a significant addition in the export figures, employment figures, and the number of new companies starting their operations in the State this year. I am confident that we will achieve our ambitious target set four years ago of doubling our exports and reaching a million head count in the coming few years.

All the institutions that we have created T-Hub, TASK, T-SAT, T-Fiber, State Innovation Cell and existing institutions like ESD and TSTS have continued to exceed their expectations and come out with pioneering work. T-Hub has been identified amongst the top three incubators in the country, and the start ups operating there have brought out many path-breaking solutions. The attempt to expand entrepreneurial activities to rest of the state has been initiated very successfully by the State Innovation Cell.

I am happy that TASK has grown from strength to strength, and is now playing a major role in providing students with the right skill-sets to the industry. T-SAT has also done a very admirable job in designing coaching programmes for different kinds of competitive tests, and has made them easily accessible to youth even in rural and remote areas. Works under T-Fiber have gathered pace, and the power that connectivity can bring has been amply demonstrated in three villages in Maheshwaram Mandal.

The adoption of technology-enabled solutions in Government departments with the facilitation and support of our IT department has been further deepened this year. Most of the Government departments are now using technology and automation not only to improve their internal processes but also to reach out more efficiently to their stakeholders. I am happy that many such departmental interventions have received prestigious awards during the year. We have launched a comprehensive m-Governance solution ‘T-App Folio’ recently. I am also proud of the fact that Telangana is the first state to launch an official digital wallet named T-Wallet. I am very appreciative of the fact that many of these solutions are utilizing emerging technologies like IoT, Block-chain, Drones, AI & ML, etc.

This year was also special in that we got two wonderful opportunities to showcase our tech prowess to the whole world during the Global Entrepreneurship Summit [GES] and World Congress on IT [WCIT]. Both these events were organized very professionally and impressed the who’s who from the IT and the startup world on what Telangana and India has to offer.

As we enter the fifth year of our Government, I am optimistic that we will be able to continue our progress unabated, and register significant growth. The country looks up to Telangana as a strong technology hub with progressive policies, and we will continue to live up to the high standards that we have set in.
