National Portal of India (http://india.gov.in) is a Mission Mode Project under the National e- Governance Plan, designed and developed by NIC to facilitate single window web based availability of all information and services by the Government. (Read more about the National Portal in the January’2006 issue of Informatics). As a part of the Project’s Management Structure, National Portal Coordinators (NPCs) have been nominated at senior level by all departments/ministries in the Central Government as well as State/UT governments for ensuring the flow of domain/region specific content into the Portal. A three day workshop of the NPCs from 20 states was held at NIC HQ to discuss the state specific content inflow and management for the National Portal. A specialized browser based Content Management System developed for facilitating submission of information to the Portal was also demonstrated to the NPCs and they used the same during the conference to submit valuable information regarding the schemes, services, forms etc pertaining to their State/UT. Also, a two day Regional Conference on ‘Fostering Excellence in Governance’ was held in Jaipur on 6 th & 7 th October, 2006. The conference was jointly organised by the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances and HCM Rajasthan Institute of Public Administration. NIC team led by Smt Neeta Verma, STD, delivered a lecture – cum- demonstration on the National Portal of India in the conference and it was felt that a platform like National Portal would go a long way in spreading the reach of e-Governance initiatives and services by Central and State Government Departments, amongst the citizens and other stake holders.
