Deputy Secretary #digital diplomacy, as the nameplate reads, is a post held by Dr Sumit Seth, an officer of the Indian Foreign Service.
When one twitter user observed, "Never dreamt would c a # on official nameplate in a GOI office # (sic)," ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin sportingly replied, "We always move with the times".
When asked if the hashtag post will soon have its own Twitter handle, Mr Akbaruddin said for now, the twitter handle of # Indian Diplomacy would serve just fine.
This is not the first time the ministry is trying to "move with the times". Last year, it had become the first Indian ministry to launch a smartphone app that helped users access information on passport norms, foreign policy initiatives and Indian consulates, among others.waploft
