Vijay Kumar took the initiative and demonstrated the simple technology concept during DIOs review meeting on 25th April 2014 through Video Conference at http://hpsirmaur.nic.in/webcast The same concept has been replicated all over the State by NIC District Units which has resulted in such a large number of polling booths being covered under live webcast.
