The Government today said it will soon send the Electronic Service Delivery Bill to the Cabinet for its approval.
The Electronic Service Delivery Bill, when enacted, will make it mandatory for every government organisation to deliver public services only in electronic mode from a cut-off date.
“The final draft Bill will be circulated on April 11, 2011 to the ministries before seeking Cabinet approval,” the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Mr Kapil Sibal, said, while discussing the Ministry’s 100-days action plan and achievements.
On the policy on mobile governance, he said the CDAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) has been mandated to develop a mobile service delivery gateway by September 2011.
About the various steps taken to promote electronics manufacturing in the country, the Minister said an approval process for setting up a National Electronic Mission has been initiated.
While modifications in the Special Incentive Package Scheme (SIPS) to enhance investment in the electronic ecosystem are under process, a study on how to attract funds in semiconductor wafer fabrication units is also being conducted.
