INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM TOWARDS ACHIEVING DIGITAL TELANGANA

201720172017Information Technology, Electronics & Communications DepartmentGovernment of Telangana

Sri K. Taraka Rama RaoHon'ble Minister for IT, MA&UD, Industries & Commerce, Mines & Geology, NRI Affairs Government of Telangana

I am pleased to continue the tradition of releasing the Annual Report of the ITE&C Department on the occasion of State Formation day for the 3rd consecutive year. Like the previous 2 years, the year 2016-17 was a highly successful one for the growth of the IT Industry in our State of Telangana. Data from 2016-17 reveals that we have shown impressive results in terms of IT exports and employment, and for the 3rd year in a row, the growth is significantly more than the national average growth.

While we have positive developments of our State on the one hand, we also need to monitor some of the worrisome global trends closely. Trends like protectionist policies being followed in different parts of the World, growing automation and a drastic decline in the employability of conventional skill sets, are both challenges and opportunities for us. So far, we seem to have managed the challenges well, and I feel confident that we have the agility to identify opportunities better than others and maintain our outstanding growth in the future.

All the Wings and Institutions under the ITE&C Department have continued to do well during 2016-17, and establish high reputation among their stakeholders. T-Hub, TASK, T-Fiber, Mee Seva, to name a few, have today become national role models being emulated in many other States. The new institution to find place in the list during 2016-17 is SOFTNET, which has made a very encouraging beginning by reaching out its services in large numbers to various user groups.

We are expecting 2017-18 to be the year in which the last batch of new initiatives that are at the planning stage to get launched. Some major initiatives that we can look forward to this year include T-Hub Phase -II, T-App Folio (m-Governance Platform of Telangana), Mee Seva 2.0, T-Works, IMAGE towers, to name a few.

The support of the IT Industry and other stakeholders for all our initiatives has been very commendable. I convey my appreciation to all of them, and hope to get their continued cooperation this year also.

1. Telangana Fiber Grid (T-Fiber)

Envisioned to establish a state-of-the-art network infrastructure to achieve the goal of ‘Digital Telangana’ and to

usher in digital democracy through affordable & reliable high-speed broadband connectivity to every household,

government and private institutions in Telangana.

T-Fiber shall provide high speed broadband connectivity to over 3.5 Cr. people and institutions in Telangana by

connecting the 10 Zones (31 Districts), 584 Mandals, 8,778 Gram Panchayats, 10,128 Villages. T-Fiber will also

form the basic platform for the provision of a number of services like e-governance, e-health, e-commerce,

e-banking, video on demand, etc.

DIGITAL TELANGANA

The key objectives of T-Fiber are

• To create a scalable, robust, resilient, secure and long- lasting digital infrastructure to deliver various services,

applications, content from Govt. and service providers

• To extend Optical Fiber Cable and installation of CPE up to every household for delivering G2G, G2C &

Telecom Services

T-Fiber piggybacks on Mission Bhagiratha Project, which provides safe drinking water to every household through

water pipelines, thereby achieving Right of Way (RoW) across the whole state.

T-Fiber network architecture adopts a layered topology for achieving the stated objective. It would be a combination of

ring and layered architectures starting State HQs down to individual households.

The network architecture is divided into following layers

• Core backbone - SHQ to Zone (District)

• Mandal layer - Zone to Mandal

• Gram Panchayat layer - Mandal to Gram Panchayats

• Access layer - Last mile connectivity on GPON to every household

Duct Laying with Mission Bhagiratha

Laying of PLB HDPE duct with Mission Bhagiratha kicked off in June 2016 and a total of about 10,000 kms of duct was laid as of March 2017. A total of 1500 Manholes/Joint chambers and 800 route markers were installed along the duct.

Training to Agencies on Duct Laying

More than 30 training sessions, live demos on laying the PLB HDPE Duct and its accessories were conducted across all the districts of Telangana for Mission Bhagiratha agencies.

Workshop on Network Architecture Solutions

A technical workshop was held for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and System Integrators from 21 - 26 July, 2016 and elicited inputs on feasible network architecture solutions for T-Fiber from them.

“ ”TESTIMONIALS
