People were loving the way Tania looked at things:
Pretty exciting to see @taidrus leading the effort for Digital Pakistan. Loved that she ended up her talk with “Kya yeh Pakistan mein hoh sakta hai? Yeh poochnay Kai bajaye poochein Kai Kab Shuroo kar saktay hain?”. She means business. Upwards and onwards. #DigitalPakistan

People were also looking at it as a challenge:
I believe the biggest challenge and opportunity for #DigitalPakistan is to align all govt bodies under a single policy and mandate.
From MoIT, Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Youth and all provincial IT boards should all be working together under a wider umbrella.

What do you think about this initiative by the government? Let us know in the comments below!
The project will have huge impact on many fronts but the question is how much freedom and support will be given to plan and execute the initiative. Like many initiatives this may also fall prey to hurdles leading to frustration.
