    About SeMT

    The State e-Mission Team (SeMTs) are deployed at States / UTs by NeGD,  Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India. SeMTs are envisioned to provide professional and Techno-Programme management support to the policy-making bodies of the States / UTs.  It collaborates with the stakeholders for the implementation of Central and State projects on digital governance and provides techno-program management consultancy.

    State e-Mission Teams (SeMTs) play a pivotal role in the implementation and success of e-Governance initiatives across India. SeMTs comprise domain experts and IT professionals who provide critical support to State Governments and Union Territories in planning, executing, and managing digital governance projects.

    SeMTs serve as the backbone of digital transformation at the State level by ensuring that initiatives are aligned with national standards while also addressing state-specific needs. They support the customization and adoption of digital governance solutions, provide technical guidance, and strengthen the capacity of government officials through structured training and knowledge-building interventions.

    By bridging the gap between the national vision of Digital India and ground-level implementation, SeMTs contribute to the development of a cohesive and integrated digital governance framework across the country. Their efforts enhance the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of public services, thereby supporting the goal of a digitally empowered society.
