In the fast moving ICT world today, the concept of ‘Knowledge Sharing’ plays a pivotal role, not just to avoid a re-invention of the wheel but also to ensure an optimisation of resources leading to a higher probability of success in the ventures. As the premier ICT organisation of the Country for around three decades now, NIC has essayed the role of an active catalyst in spearheading e-governance efforts for better government-society relations. With a view towards disseminating information about the important e-governance initiatives undertaken by NIC in various sectors as well as to promote an effective sharing of best practices, NIC has published a reference handbook on ‘Good Governance through ICT’. The publication provides comprehensive information with an objective to create deeper understanding into the successful designing and implementation of infrastructure, applications, projects and services of NIC in the areas of agriculture, land records, rural development, judiciary, finance, health, industry, infrastructure, HRD, Legislature, IT for masses, integrated services etc. The information in the book is the outcome of a joint effort by various NIC Units in the States/UTs and NIC HQ, compiled by an editorial committee headed by Senior Technical Director Dr Shefali Dash. The publication is expected to prove immensely helpful to create a knowledge base of key initiatives and best practices for utilization by IT specialists and administrators both within India and abroad.
