“This will become a model in government enterprise architecture in India,” chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said.

The Andhra Pradesh government is rechristening the AP State Enterprise Architecture (APSEA) as ‘e-Pragati’, with which it has become the first state in India to conceive and execute state-wide enterprise architecture.

“This will become a model in government enterprise architecture in India,” chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said. Developed over eight months in association with Wipro, ePragati is a comprehensive framework for implementing e-Governance that provides e-services to people in Andhra Pradesh.

The network extends to 33 secretariat departments and over 300 government agencies in the state and seeks to provide a bouquet of 745 services in the government to customer (G2C), government to business (G2B), government to enterprise (G2E) and government to government (G2G) areas.

It consists of 72 projects grouped into 14 packages with an estimated outlay of Rs 2,358 crores which will be funded and implemented over a three-year period. Of this, the government will invest Rs 1,528 crore and the remaining would come through the PPP mode. “ePragati aims focuses on achieving a unified and connected government with citizen-centricity at its core. The implementation will lead to free-flow of information among departments, paving the way for an integrated, outcome-driven and accountable government,” CM Naidu said.
