The NIC Tawang district unit was established in the year 1994. As in case of most of the districts, initially it was tough to motivate the people, but within a span on six years, it has brought a vast change in the attitude of the staff of the district administration. Now, the situation is such that the administration is getting almost all the database related works computerized. More and more people are getting trained in different fields of computers and the Deputy Commissioner’s office and NIC is getting connected with LAN so that the computerized activities in the various departments related to the District Commissioner's Office can be carried out from any place at a time. As a part of its constant endeavour to bring about total computerization in the District's Activities, NIC Tawang Unit has developed and implemented a number of useful Software Packages and carried out computerization projects, some of which are highlighted below: Processing of monthly salary, monthly expenditure statement and annual budget for the Deputy Commissioners Office has been fully computerized. Registered Motor Vehicle Information System has been implemented which helps in getting any information about a particular vehicle like Tax paid so far, year of manufacture etc. Below Poverty Line Information System developed by NIC Tawang is being used all over the state to know the exact number of people living below poverty line, assistance received, migration etc. The Software developed on preparation of Electoral Rolls is one of the major achievements for the district and based on this roll, the 1999 election of MPs & MLAs were held. Tawang was the first district in Arunachal Pradesh to prepare this roll and the election commission of Arunachal Pradesh appreciated Tawang District for its efforts.

The district receives a large number of mails from the Secretariat and other departments. NICNET connectivity has also been given to DRDA, Planning and Police Department for easy reception and transmission of messages.

Still in budding stage, NIC Tawang District Unit has a long way to go. But its efforts over the years look very promising for achieving the aim of spreading informatics culture till the very roots of the District.
