Thakur said the MLA dashboard or Constituency Monitoring Dashboard would provide update of constituencies to MLAs related to developmental works, priorities, problems of citizens, references given to CM, details of beneficiaries of various schemes of the state government, development works of different schemes related to their constituencies at a click of button.

A workshop and presentation will be held to acquaint MLAs with these apps. He urged MLAs to make the maximum use of technology for development of their areas.

Later, the CM launched MyGov Himachal Digital News Letter. This monthly newsletter would carry information and write-ups regarding various policies, programmes and schemes of the state government and would be available on various platforms of social media.
