Nation witnessed the celebration of Good Governance Week with fervour recently. I feel it was a remarkable way to bid good-bye to yet another productive year which has seen several achievements and advancements using ICT in the country. During the weeklong celebration, many new nation-wide projects and programmes were initiated with ambitiously yet planned goals. I sincerely hope that newer tools and techniques of ICT would be explored and utilized to enhance the quality and efficiency of services rendered by the government. The lead story of this issue of Informatics is the ‘Good Governance Week Celebration’. We bring you a detailed coverage, along with visual glimpses of the event.
Articles covered under the ‘e-Gov Products and Services’ section this time are West Bengal State Data Centre, Integrated Online Hotel Reservation System for Himachal, Telangana Samagra Kutumba Survey System, National e-District Portal and GIS based Online Monitoring System for Sericulture in Manipur.
‘From the States’ section feature Kerala for being one of the most successful States in implementing several ICT products and citizen centric services. The ‘Technology Update’ section apprises you on Hyper-V with Failover Clustering and the WebCon eLearning Services of NIC.
Many of the projects and products of NIC bagged popular awards during the recently held ICT events. The ‘Accolades’ section showcases awards conferring such as Smart City Awards 2015, CSI Nihilent e-Governance Award 2015 and Digital Transformational Leadership 2015.
