Applications of RTGs

The RTGS system has been used by N. Chandrababu Naidu to evaluate the performance of MLA's from his party. When setting up meetings with party leaders prior to the 2019 elections, he used to warn the MLAs that he had all the information about them and that he would only field candidates who had the potential to win. For the same, the Chief Minister received input as well as data broken down by the constituency. The same was also used to ensure none of his ministers partook in any sand mining activity which the opposition had often attacked his party about. Using the RTGS and IVRS technologies, the

government sent messages to about Nine Lakh people during the impending Cyclone Phethai to minimise the loss of human life. About the effectiveness of RTGS, Chandrababu Naidu observed: "We have beaten IMD in predicting the exact location of where the cyclone made the landfall".
