India proposes setting up SAARC communication task force Islamabad, Tuesday (PTI) - India yesterday proposed the setting up a task force to monitor and map developments in the communications sector among the SAARC member countries to take the benefit of technology to the masses and bring down costs. "A continuous dialogue and exchange of information on technologies, growth as well as projects will greatly help. I urge the setting up of a task force to continuously monitor the development in the communications sector," Union Communications and IT Minister Dayanidhi Maran said at the SAARC Communication Ministers' conference here. This task force, he suggested, could be set up under the SAARC Secretariat and perform such functions as members would assign it. Maran said the task force could develop performance indicators in the telecom sector which would serve as a guideline to the policy makers in the region. "These could be published in a paper annually highlighting the level of universal access, tele-density and digital divide", the Minister said. |
