E-Governance e-gov projects to be standardised Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Jan. 25 THE National Institute of Smart Governance (NISG) has drawn up plans to broadbase the implementation of various e-governance projects across the country and is working on standardisation process.

The United Nations Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative, Dr Maxine Olson, said growth and implementation of e-governance was far from satisfactory given the mismatch in potential and implementation. She was addressing a press conference here along with the Chief Executive Officer of NISG, Mr J. Satyanarayana, and the President of Cisco Systems, India and SAARC, Mr Rangu Salgame, Chief Executive Officer of NISG, Mr J. Satyanarayana, and the President of Cisco Systems, India and SAARC, Mr Rangu Salgame. Dr Olson said, "We are working towards a coordinated effort that would broadbase the application of various e-governance projects by pooling in resources." Earlier, at New Models for eGovernance in South Asia and the World, Dr Olson, said, "Leveraging new opportunities provided by ICTs for bringing governments and Government services closer to the people will be the central focus."
