The Digital India Corporation (DIC) has said it is inviting for recruitment of personnel on a sabbatical and secondment basis with special skills and expertise. The expertise of these personnel would help in enhancing the delivery of e-governance services to the citizens of the country, it said.

“Many technology professionals have expressed their desire to work for digital transformation projects at a national level with the objective to contribute to nation-building. This has the potential of augmenting the pool of resources available with the government,” the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) said in a statement.

The objective and purpose of this effort have been laid down in the general principles and guidelines for taking personnel on sabbatical or secondment from their parent organisations, which is available on the DIC website, it said.
