In a vast & huge country like India, e-governance is the only way for effective delivery unto the last.

I didn't become CM on 07-10-2001. I have always been CM, I am CM today and shall be CM forever. For me CM means not Chief Minister but Common Man.

The 'Idea of India' is an India of opportunity and aspiration. An India where: all are prosperous and happy, all are free from illness.

Don't dream to be something but rather dream to do something great.

I dream of a Digital India where farmers are empowered with real-time information to be connected with Global Markets.

I would especially like to appeal to my country's media that we should stop looking at everything in India from the prism of Pakistan. India is an independent country. It is a country of 125 crore people. Whenever it approaches any country, it will only be concerned about its own interests. It has been our biggest shortcoming and mistake that we have been tagging ourselves with another country and trying to do things.

Good roads, good houses, adequate electricity, good schools or good hospitals in the village are indeed, the parameters of progress. However, in my view, 100 percent literate village is the true symbol of real progress.
