    Government and Local Government officials, that as more and more officials are using data
    apart from the voice call facility for effectively administering the official work and as such
    they have requested the ITE&C Dept., for revising the existing policy envisaged in the G.O.
    read above.

    2. In this context, a study has been made on data Tariff and Handset (Phones) rates
    for providing Cellular Phones to eligible State and Local Government Officials requiring
