Data has evolved as a valuable resource for both citizens and governments. With the rise of High-Speed Internet, Cloud Storage, and Artificial Intelligence, even small organisations can now leverage data to acquire an accurate view of evolving citizen demands. It should come as no surprise that data provides tremendous potential for enhanced growth. As the country has undergone significant changes, almost every sector has benefited from the availability of data. During the COVID-19 pandemic, data was extensively used for contact tracing, hotspot prediction, and supply distribution. The necessity of data became clear especially during the implementation of lockdowns, when critical situations demanded prompt responses based on data-driven decisions. Data also plays a critical role in producing significant societal returns, which is a promising sign for the future. Henceforth, data as an asset must be nurtured and used along with the responsibility of protecting citizens from its potential misuse. Continuing the tradition of excellence in 2023, we are pleased to present the coverage of the Digital India Awards 2022, a landmark event held to recognise excellence in eGovernance, at which the Honorable President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu presented 22 winning teams in seven award categories. In addition, we have a collection of articles commemorating the influence of NIC on the lives of ordinary citizens. We covered the success stories of Assam, Chandigarh, and Goa, as well as four award-winning districts, namely Puri, Sri Ganganagar, Leh, and Bilaspur. This edition also presents MeriPehchaan and ABHA, two citizen-centric digital services designed and developed by NIC. These are followed by our regular news sections, which include Appscape, In The News, International eGov, and Accolades. Behind the scenes, we are continuously enhancing the publication by improving the quality of our content and design. Your feedback is valued most. It would be much appreciated if you could take out some time to write to us with your opinion and suggestions which may be addressed to editor.info@nic.in.
