With rapid expansion of e-Governance movement in India, many new initiatives have been conceptualized and implemented to strengthen the cause of good governance by fostering transparency and accountability. CSI Nihilent e-Governance Awards have been instituted to acknowledge the exemplary initiatives/projects/services in the realm of e-Governance. Running into its second decade, the award is a golden yardstick for evaluating the mileage of various e-Governance initiatives running in the country. Alike previous years, this year too, an overwhelming number of entries were in the race for this prestigious accolade. This year also awards were conferred for the categories including ‘Award of Excellence’ along with ‘Award of Appreciation', ‘Award of Recognition' and ‘Appreciation for Sustenance'.
