Sources from Thiruvananthapuram have stated that Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday said that the state government would accelerate the deployment of digital resources in development initiatives and also in addressing challenges faced by people.
Sources have stated that he was speaking after launching 'G-Ride', a digital ride sharing platform specially designed and deployed for the IT industry, by the Group of Technology Companies (GTech), the industry body of IT companies in the state and when easing traffic, tackling parking woes, reducing fuel consumption, lowering pollution levels and providing convenient modes of transport are of high priority. Moreover several IT companies in cities like Bengaluru, Chennai and Noida already encourage car-pooling and ride-sharing.
Meanwhile K Nanda Kumar, Chairman of GTech
added that “A large number of professionals in the IT industry drive or ride to
work, as they find this most convenient. This will change as G-Ride gives them
the option to offer friends and colleagues a pick-up or to hitch a ride with
someone in the neighborhood”.
