PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa IT Board’s (KPITB) performance in digitizing government departments has been deemed inadequate in the Auditor General’s report for 2021–2022.
Despite obtaining more than Rs40 million in subsidies for IT businesses, the audit found that the IT Board was only able to digitize 10 departments, including Higher Education and Local Government, in the allotted period. Additionally, the report stated that the board’s goals of creating IT parks were not met.
By 2021, there were just 26 companies registered in Peshawar’s IT Park, down from 57 in 2015. at a similar vein, the 16 businesses that were registered at Abbottabad’s IT Park in 2015 did not grow by 2021.
