I gave a presentation to the government officials of Province 1 on the topic 'Pathways to Creating Jobs in ICT by Building Strong Collaboration' by citing an example of India where the Narendra Modi Government is building Cloud First Approach to empower India and how the country's various states are complying to this with several examples such as Manipur state confronting a costly & inefficient on premise Data Center by shifting to AWS Cloud and likewise Maharastra State using AWS Capabilities to digitize information technology in various state departments . Moving to cloud has largely increased the efficiency of businesses in India and I thus encouraged the Nepal government to do the same. In a nutshell, the event was a huge success with Nepali Government Officials in province 1 showing a keen interest to move their workload to cloud by inquiring about the detailed procedures.
