NIC Chhattisgarh has taken another giant leap forward on 15th August 2004 when the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Dr. Raman Singh dedicated the Videoconferencing network to the people, connecting all the 16 Districts to the State capital Raipur. Hon’ble CM at VC Centre Raipur interacted on VC with Sri K.K.Jaswal, Secretary (DIT) and Dr.N.Vijayaditya, DG (NIC) who greeted the CM from NIC VC Studio, New Delhi. While the speaker of Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha Mr. Prem Prakash Pandey participated from VC Centre Durg, other cabinet and state ministers participated from the other 15 District VC centres. Dr. Singh thanked NIC for its contribution towards the development of the state by bringing the latest in technology to the public of Chhattisgarh. The Secretary (DIT) too congratulated the CM for his successful efforts to realise the best with the help of the latest Technology. The entire session was controlled through the Multipoint Conference Unit (MCU) of NIC HQ. The arrangement was so made by the MCU that while one site was interacting with Raipur, other sites received the broadcast through IRD.
