One mile of road can lead you to cover only one mile but one mile of runway can take you anywhere

S N Tripathi, Secretary, Parliamentary Affairs - Govt. of India

"I always believe in one simple philosophy - One mile of road can lead you to cover only one mile. But one mile of runway can take you anywhere. Today is the age of ‘Dataway’ or ‘Infoway’ as our PM calls it. Data is involved with anything and everything today. Our work is to manage the state but that too involves data - how will citizens react to certain policies, laws & rules, what kind of policies should be made by the govt. and so on. My Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs has come up with an e-Vidhan application where we are going to give you instant access to all the 31 assemblies in India, both Houses of Parliament and 7 councils."
