Karnataka's IT exports zoomed nearly 50 per cent to touch Rs 1.3 lakh crore in 2011-12, a top state official said today.
"It's (IT exports) now Rs one lakh thirty thousand crore. It is as per the actual figures," Karnataka IT Secretary M N Vidyashankar told reporters.
"Lot of new markets have been discovered in Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Africa. Penetration has increased," he added.
In 2010-11, Karnataka had recorded IT exports of Rs 87,000 crore, according to Vidyashankar.
He said the IT department would hold a meeting with the industry soon to discuss the projections for IT exports in the current fiscal.
Meanwhile, IT department officials said a Karnataka Resident Data Hub is planned to be set up this year. It will identify each resident in a unique manner and contain details of the benefits provided to the residents.
It has been noted that the major challenges in implementing beneficiary-oriented welfare programmes are in respect of reaching the needy residents, who have not been able to access the benefits so far, and also to prevent leakages due to multiple benefits to the same individual.
The proposed hub would address these challenges and improve governance of benefit distribution to the state's residents.
"This proposed hub will link all databases of Government", Vidyashankar said.
Officials also said UID-enabled delivery of major beneficiary oriented welfare schemes would be launched as a pilot in Tumkur and Mysore districts, before extending them across the entire state. So far, 1.4 crore residents in the state have enrolled for UID including 95 per cent residents in Tumkur and Mysore districts, officials said.
