Calling on management students to contribute towards the improvement of cities, economist Isher Judge Ahluwalia on Thursday said e-governance models have to be implemented in more cities and this requires the participation of management students from institutes like the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB).
Addressing students at IIMB’s 39th convocation, Ahluwalia, who is the chairperson of the board of governors of the Indian Council for Research and International Economic Relations (ICRIER), said, “e-governance with back-end integration has contributed greatly to services like getting birth and death certificates, building sanctions, paying property taxes and utility bills. It needs to be implemented in other cities like how it is being done now in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Surat.
