Rajasthan has become the first state in the country to have a L-route server, which will ensure uninterrupted internet at high speed. Rajasthan will have its own domain name too. L-route server has been established in the state at Bhamashah State Data Center in association with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
As per the state government, with this initiative, the industry as well as the general public in the state will no longer have to face any disruption. With the ICANN root server, Rajasthan is no longer dependent on any root server for the Domain Name System. The state government has further noted that owing to this arrangement, even if there is a problem in internet connectivity due to any technical glitch or natural calamity in India or the whole of Asia, the internet will continue to run without any interruption in Rajasthan.
Currently, there are three J-route servers in the country at Delhi, Mumbai and Gorakhpur and two L-route servers in Mumbai and Kolkata, but Rajasthan is the first state in the country to set up to L-route servers at the state level.
This move forms a part of government of Rajasthan’s initiative to promote e-governance. Notably, the state government is emphasising on increasing digital services for the convenience of the common man and transparency in government services.
