Informatics, being the most visible symbol of NIC and its most audible voice, has always highlighted the achievements of various units of NIC and its dedicated and talented pool of scientists and engineers. This serves to bridge the geographical gap between the NIC family members posted across the country and makes all of us feel proud to be a part of this vibrant organisation. It has also proved to be a very effective tool of spreading awareness among the government departments and other stakeholders in the growth of ICT, about the goals, activities and dreams of NIC professionals. The achievements of NIC Arunachal Pradesh in the section ‘State in Focus’ of October issue served to inspire us here in J&K considering that such significant achievements has been made in that remote and less privileged state. I extend my congratulations to the editorial team of Informatics and its contributors and wish Informatics a long life.
