Currently, it is using the services of the common data center located in the Hyderabad city. So, it constituted a nodal agency called e-Governance Authority for this purpose and entrusted the task to it. The nodal agency has 11 members including the IT minister and the IT advisor. The Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, who heads this agency, insists to set-up a tailor-made data center to meet the growing demands of the state for the next 20 years in the state.
