I am delighted to learn that INFORMATICS - eGovernance magazine published by National Informatics Centre, has completed 25 years of publication. I am sure it has contributed immensely in collaboration of new ideas and dissemination of information. As we move towards greater digital convergence, the need for sharing of ideas, new initiatives and success stories will only help moving towards a harmonious digital convergence. My warm compliments for achieving this milestone.
National Informatics Centre (NIC), has been playing a stellar role in developing, supporting and spreading the digital ecosystem of India and it stands today as a key pillar of Digital India. Every member of NIC has been contributing towards achieving the goal of digital governance. However, on this occasion I urge the scientists of NIC to take lead in innovations in the new areas of digital ecosystem like big data, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, cyber-crimes, GIS solutions, digital payments etc. I hope the future editions of INFORMATICS magazine would share views and works of NIC in these new areas as well.
I wish this effort my best wishes.
