A high-level delegation from Bangladesh visited Bangalore and interacted with key officials in the administrative and e-governance departments. They studied the implementation of various e-governance interventions, particularly ‘Sakaala’, the government scheme that is part of the Karnataka Guarantee of Services of Citizens Act, 2011.

Led by Mohammed Yunus, the National Director (Planning) in the Bangladesh government, the team sat through a series of presentations on government schemes, including Mahiti, Nemmadi, Bhoomi and Sarige. Their focus was on learning how technology can aid delivery of services to citizens.

The delegation also focused on IT applications used in the health sector, particularly under the National Rural Health Mission.
