Dell has announced its support as the technology partner for the eKranti initiative launched in Gujarat. The project was recently launched by the Gujarat State Co-operative Credit Societies Federation Ltd., in an effort to facilitate the delivery of all government services electronically to citizens.
In this regard, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Gujarat State Co-operative Credit Societies Federation Ltd. and Dell’s channel partner – Earth Syscom and Project Central Partner – Jintech Solutions Limited for the implementation of the project.
