It is my great pleasure to address you as the Secretary of Department of Electronics and Information Technology. I look forward to the fulfilling the DeitY’s vision e-Development of India as the engine for transition into a developed nation and an em-powered society. Digital India is one of the key initiatives that have been successfully addressing this vision and it would be our privilege to keep up the good work. The success of Digital India lies not only in utilizing technology to transform the lives of citizens, but more importantly in the transformational outreach and subsequently the nature of transformational benefits the citizens receive from the projects that are rolled out. Digital India has and will continue to move forward with a holistic approach. ‘Digital Infrastructure as a Utility to Every Citizen’, one of the three coverage areas under Digital India that addresses digital inclusiveness is bridging this gap now faster than ever. It then becomes imperative that NIC being the premier ICT organization of the government keeps up its success rate in rolling out projects in the fields of e-Governance, e-Kranti, Global Awareness and envisaged Early Harvest programmes. Moreover, NIC has an established record of adopting an approach where not only Greenfield ini-tiatives are undertaken but also the ongoing schemes and initiatives are restructured with minimal cost to align them with the Digital India programme. I wish you all the success and hope that your perseverance and zeal will continue to make Digital India live up to the expectations it has promised to deliver.
