Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on May 25 declared the state as an e-governance-state. The chief minister made the declaration at an event organised by the Kerala IT Mission held in Thiruvananthapuram district. Speaking on occasion, CM Vijayan said, "Becoming an e-governance-state will give a major boost in building the new face of Kerala. People are not satisfied with certain democratic systems of government because their demands are not met. But here in our state, the situation is different. We conduct audits and submit reports to the people."
