DeitY, under NeGP, is promoting the use of e-Governance Standards in the eGov Applications, to enable them share the information, in a seamless manner. The government departments, at central and state level, are being made aware about the eGov standards notified by DeitY, with the help of seminars, trainings and workshops. A one day awareness workshop was organised at Chandigarh on 19th December, 2014 for the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal, J&K, Uttarakhand and Chandigarh UT to discuss the adherence to e-Governance standards and interoperability of data across various e- Governance applications. The workshop was attended by 100 officials from state governments of the six northern states mentioned. After a brief introduction of e-Governance Standards, sessions were organised on the following standards- Digital Preservation, Metadata and Data standards, Localization standards and Best practices and Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW). The participants showed lot of interest by asking queries and making the sessions interactive. In their feedback, they wanted more of such workshops to be organised, region wise, and at regular intervals for maximum awareness.
