"We intend to extend this facility to other ministers' office also. Labour Minister Shibu Baby John has already expressed his desire for this facility and it would be decided by the cabinet shortly," said Chandy.

In 2004 also when Chandy was Chief Minister, he went for the facility but it was operational only when he was in his chamber.

"All my meetings, press conferences and cabinet briefing would be available live on this site. Anyone wishing to send me any information can log on and upload what they want and it would be looked into," said Chandy.

"I also request people to contribute whatever ideas they have to the idea-bank named 'Vision 2030' that is there on the website," added Chandy.
