E-Governance IT Dept pulled up for slow pace of Media Lab work Our Bureau
New Delhi , April 22 A PARLIAMENTARY panel has pulled up the Department of IT for the slow pace in implementing the activities of the once-controversial Media Lab Asia. "The committee is dismayed to note the slow pace in the implementation of the activities of Media Lab Asia. Though the Planning Commission had approved a gross budgetary support of Rs 300 crore for Media Lab Asia for the Tenth Plan period, surprisingly no money was spent on the project in the first three years of the Tenth Plan," the Standing Committee on IT, said in the latest report on Demand for Grants (2005-06). It noted that although the Department proposed an outlay of Rs 90 crore, Rs 80 crore, and Rs 65 crore during 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05, respectively, no serious thought appears to have been given to the implementation of the project.
