Sam Pitroda, adviser to the Prime Minister on Public Information and Infrastructure, said on Sunday at Ahmedabad that the Centre was spending Rs 1 lakh crore to bring in a "second-generation revolution" in governance.
"Our governance system is obsolete and requires drastic change. If we do not change it, we cannot manage future delivery system for people," Pitroda said.
"What we are doing is planting seeds now. In mid-eighties we planted seeds for the first-generation telecom revolution when there were just 20 lakh phones and people had to wait for 10 years to get a landline connection. Now we are a country with 900 million mobile phones.” He said.
"In the second generation revolution what we are doing is transforming governance, education, health and many other things with the use of internet and web," he said.
