NEW DELHI: The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has launched a Digital Volunteer Programme to encourage people to use their presence on different social media to talk about government schemes and programmes.

The programme aims at helping the Government achieve a real time engagement with people leading to a personalised interaction with the target groups.

The Ministry says those who have active Facebook or Twitter accounts and are familiar with Tweetdeck, Hootsuite etc. and are willing to use their personal social presence to help Government spread a word about its policies and programmes can volunteer.

The volunteers may like to talk about Government Initiatives by retweeting the messages tweeted by MIB‘s Twitter Handle @MIB_India
 
They may also share the Ministry‘s Tweets (@MIB_India), Facebook Posts (facebook.com/inbministry), Blog posts (inbministry.blogspot.in) and share YouTube Channel videos(youtube.com/user/inbministry) on Social Networking sites

The volunteers can mention Official Twitter handle of the Ministry @MIB_India in tweets to facilitate real time engagement.
