Cooperation brings nations together and fosters mutual growth. Moving ahead with an objective to promote e-governance, an event was organised at the Electronic Government Development Center (Center), Uzbekistan, to discuss possible avenues of mutual consideration. The event was attended by Smt. Ranjna Nagpal, Shri IPS Sethi and Shri B. Vinaya, Deputy Director Generals from the National Informatics Centre (NIC). Representatives of the Indian Embassy were also invited. From the Center’s side, Mr. M. Rasulov, Deputy Director, as well as Department Heads and staff took part in the meeting.
Mr. Rasulov familiarised guests with the e-government architecture in Uzbekistan, and spoke about the interactive public services provided to the population, One ID system and the public services portal birdarcha.uz. A number of projects that are planned to be implemented in cooperation were discussed. One such project is the use of Big Data in the e-government system. This project involves the creation of a software module that will serve to determine dependencies in a stream of fragmented information. Another project is the introduction of IaaS and Saas cloud technologies into e-government infrastructure based on such Indian technology products as S3WaaS (government website management), Manav Saparanda (e-manager), Darpan (dashboard for analytical review of projects).
Indian experts expressed their willingness to assist in the implementation of these technologies based on their experience. The parties agreed on the phased implementation of projects within the framework of the joint “Road Map”. At the seminar, guests provided information on NIC’s activities, history, structure and the Digital India Project, shared their knowledge and skills to improve the e-government system, using advanced technological solutions, as well as experience in ensuring transparency to improve the efficiency of public administration.
