I hope that you and your loved ones have a wonderful start to the new year. With each passing year comes the promise of a new beginning and the opportunity to make positive changes in one’s life. Today, one way to describe us humans is as technological beings. Our beliefs, culture, and lifestyle have all been impacted by the numerous technological innovations that have emerged throughout history. Technology has transformed our lives into a global phenomenon and is now one of the most influential forces in shaping our world. We are fortunate that both our Government and Citizens have recognised the power of technology and embraced it with open arms. For the last four and half decades, their combined energies have spirited our minds and inspired us to come up with a number of digital offerings to meet their growing needs. These offerings have not only integrated a large section of historically marginalised groups into the mainstream section of the society, but made them a part of active governance. Our recent offerings – Ayushmaan Bharat Health Account (ABHA), OneMap City Series, and Integrated Road Accident Database (iRAD) — are just a few examples of it. Invigorated by the support and appreciation showered on us, NIC is entering a new phase of evolution. Digital India Awards 2022 paves the way in this regard. These awards have propagated NIC’s human-centred approach to technology and served as a model for other organisations to create digital solutions for the larger good. Further, the recently assumed presidency of the G20 forum has heightened the role of NIC as the digital brain to the Government. It has incited us to develop solutions that facilitate greater knowledge-sharing and ensure reaching to the remaining citizens in remotest regions of the country. I am confident in our capacity to seize the opportunities before us and bring honour to the organisation as a team. I would like to extend my warm wishes again for 2023 and beyond.
