ICT initiatives and e- Governance Projects

In India, e-Government has progressed from the computerization of government departments to programmes that encompass the finer elements of governance, such as citizen centricity, service orientation, and transparency. Lessons learned from prior e-Government programmes have helped to shape the country’s progressive e-Government policy. The idea that a programme approach, guided by a shared vision and strategy, is needed to speed up e-Government adoption across the various branches of government at the national, state, and local levels has been taken into consideration. 

This method has the potential to save a lot of money by sharing core and support infrastructure, facilitating interoperability through standards, and providing citizens with a unified image of government. The National e-Government Plan (NeGP) examines the state of e-government in the United States.

ICT will supply you with the best short and long-term contract desk side support professionals, engineers, project managers, administrators, and salespeople, whether you’re developing a new team or augmenting an existing one. The goal, approach, strategy, major components, implementation methodology, and management structure for NeGP have all been approved by the government.
