Identity Project's List: Ministry of Communications and Information Technology

The National e-Governance Plan of Indian Government seeks to lay the foundation and provide the impetus for long-term growth of e-Governance within the country. The plan seeks to create the right governance and institutional mechanisms, to set up the core infrastructure and policies and to implement a number of Central, State and Integrated Mission Mode Projects, with well defined service levels, to create a citizen-centric and business-centric environment for governance. Implementation of e-Governance projects is a highly complex process requiring provisioning of hardware & software, networking, change management and capacity building.
To expedite the implementation e-Governance projects, participation of Industry both as partner and vendor has become essential. This has resulted into a significant increase in the role and responsibilities of the Industry and Private Sector in such projects. Although outsourcing to Industry has increased the bandwidth for implementation of the projects, it
has also necessitated the need of retaining Strategic Control within the Line
Ministries/Departments of the Government.
