Under the new constitution of CSI, which has
been duly approved and implemented, the concept of “Special
Interest Groups” of ‘eGovernance’ has been
defined. The basic perceived objective has been to focus on an
important area where Information Technology can be leveraged
and bring like minded professionals together to add value by
bringing out recommendations relevant to various stake holders.
India has already established itself as a leader in the Information
Technology sector. With its vast human resource potential, India
can be the World’s Knowledge Capital. Governments are under
pressure to deliver a range of services in a timely, efficiently,
economical, equitable, transparent and corruption free manner
to its citizens. E-Governance can have a profound impact on the
poor and ultimately on the economic output and growth of the
country as a whole. Information acts as a revolutionary force
in bridging the digital divide. IT can vastly extend access to
education, health care, markets, financial services, vocational
skills, administrative services and other aspects of the modern
society, to many more people at far lower costs apart from generating
employment. IT can dramatically reduce the cost of communications,
improve access to technology and marketing capabilities for the
rural poor. It can help in eliminating intermediary exploitation
in the production and distribution chains, increase government
accountability.
The last decade has witnessed e-Governance penetrating India
in both Urban and Rural areas, Central Government has announced
a National e-Governance plan (NEGP) and each State has also defined
their own e-Governance policies within the frame work of NEGP.
The total investments being made to implement these initiatives
are huge, and are impacting the domestic ICT market as well as
education and training area significantly. IT spending in our
country is being driven primarily by this initiative and impacting
the lives of ordinary citizen across the country in a very positive
fashion.
Special Interest Group on eGovernance is a SIG under Computer
Society of India. Its main objective is to to develop and sustain
successful e-governance projects and deliver state of the art
e-services to citizens. It’s about transforming Governments
and renovating the way citizens participate in democracy. It
aims to concentrate on transforming the efficiency, effectiveness,
transparency and accountability of informational & transactional
exchanges with in government, between govt. & govt. agencies
of National, State, Municipal & Local levels, citizen & businesses,
and to empower citizens through access & use of information.
Towards this goal, it will also get into partnerships with other
such similar groups across the world.
CSI is the only professional society covering individual user
/ Citizens as members and is most appropriately suited to focus
and add significant value to the successful implementation of
the e-Governance initiative in our country.
e-Governance has the capacity to take our country to the next
generation and CSI-SIGeGov can play a important role in the process.
