Parliamentary Election is an important event in the Indian Democracy. Considering electorate size, geographical spread and terrain of India, Indian Elections involve colossal complexity. ICT intervention has fostered transparency and speed in the election process rendering it more efficient and accountable. NIC was entrusted with the responsibility of hosting the results and trends of General Elections, 2014 on the day of counting for worldwide dissemination by Election Commission of India. With state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology deployed by NIC, whole exercise was executed effectively to the satisfaction of all stakeholders. It seems to be well appreciated in the Government circle.
Another milestone in the success journey of NIC is the launch of Prime Minister’s website which was made live just seconds after Shri Narendra Modi was sworn in as the 15th Prime Minister of India, inviting wide scale appreciation.
