KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has garnered information on the expansion of the Digital Nepal Framework (DNF) and the progress of Nepal Telecom.
PM Oli sought a brief inquiry from Minister for Communications and Information Technology, Prithvi Subba Gurung, Secretary Radhika Aryal, and the Officiating Managing Director at Nepal Telecom, Sabina Maske Pradhan, on Monday. In the meeting, PM Oli reminded the subordinates to intensify the good governance, development and prosperity initiatives through the use of information technology.
He was briefed on the recently endorsed artificial intelligence (AI) Policy and the ministry’s homework to expand DNF 2.0. The revised version of DNF has focused on strengthening the digital ecosystem- infrastructure, agriculture, education, tourism, finance, good governance, climate change, disaster, and social security. A digital transformation council has been proposed for the enforcement of the DNF 2.0. The new version will come into force after the Cabinet passes it.
It is worth sharing that the first DNF 2076 was also launched in the premiership of KP Oli.
