The services offered by NIC are exemplary. In my district, most of the activities done manually hitherto have been automated now. During elections or during mass contact programmes of VIPs, or in other events where endurance of district administration is tested, NIC renders a commendable job. Besides software development, NIC conducts regular training programmes on various software packages to help officials hone their skills. NIC extends its services to other Govt Departments also, thereby spreading the informatics culture in the Government sector. My best wishes for success in all of NIC's endeavours. I hope your magazine brings out more success stories.
