One of the key enabling forces for providing and procuring ICT based solutions to governments, public sector undertakings and various related entities is the NICSI. Since its formation in 1995, NICSI has been providing state-of-the-art and cost effective solutions for all the growing ICT needs of various stakeholders and citizens. The success of Digital India programme owes a lot to NICSI for the multi-dimensional role it has been playing in supporting the government. These solutions have been delivered by in-house development, purchase of products and services from quality empanelled vendors. With this, NICSI continues to fulfil its vision of contributing to the acceleration of socio-economic growth. It is notable that with the successful execution of over 1700 projects annually, NICSI has grown to serve Government of India and other developing countries in its glorious 25 year history.
