Despite all that loud talk of e-governance surprisingly Prime Minister Narendra Modi though over seven months in office is yet to set up an email address on which the people could send him their grievances and concerns.
People now can communicate with the Prime Minister only by post or fax. That much hyped “Interact with the PM” on the Prime Minister’s official website besides being very user unfriendly permits you to write up to only 500 characters which is around a mere 80 words. Today with the advanced technology, communication by email is the way forward. It should be the Prime Minister’s resolve to have in place before the onset of the New Year an email address on which the public could write to him. In this day and age to have to communicate by post or fax besides being very outdated also incurs expenditure and other logistic problems which could be avoided by being able to correspond through an email. Email has today become the most widely used medium of communication. Enabling the people to address their vows and views to the Prime Minister through an email would be a right step towards Narendra Modi’s promise of Good Governance with an open, accountable and people friendly administration. In the words of Narendra Modi “E-Governance to me is easy, effective and efficient governance”. Time to walk the talk, Mr. Prime Minister.
