FutureGov SAARC Summit betters Lanka’s chance to host prestigious FutureGov Summit
ICT led Government transformation will be the key in delivering efficient citizen services, says ICT Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA) CEO Reshan Dewapura. Dewapura said so while making the concluding remarks at the close of Future Gov SAARC Summit 2012 at Cinnamon Grand Hotel Colombo recently (19th July).
“We are strongly entrenched in the belief, that ICT is the future driving force of socio-economic development and that ICT led Government transformation, will be the key in delivering efficient citizen services” Dewapura affirmed.
In the backdrop of this belief Dewapura commended what looked like an example of putting the summit’s message into practice, namely live voting during the two days of the conference. Using voting devices distributed to participants research was carried out ‘on the spot’, so to say. The audience was able to know the answer to research questions related to conference addresses and panel discussions within about 30 seconds after the question was put to them. They could know the percentagewise answers of their peers in the audience to the questions posed. The voting device was used to carry out the near instant survey both with regard to general questions and rating of presentations. Tokens of appreciation were also presented to speakers, moderators of panels, and those who had worked very hard for the success of the Summit.
