L CATION

Foreword

The twenty-first century is a century of knowledge economy. ICT skills will contribute significantly to creation, dissemination, and application of knowledge in all spheres of life. To put in place a system which should enable this, there is a need for successful collaboration among Central Government, State Governments, academic institutions, industry, and civil society. In this context, the eINDIA2007 conference focusing on several key themes will be a valuable source of input to the Government and other stakeholders.

R ChandrasekharAdditional Secretary, e-Governance, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Government of India

In most cases abroad, the successful solutions in eGovernance and other sectors have been fueled by solutions created by Indian experts. However, such solutions are never found in India. One needs to understand why such absorption and evaluation is not happening in India. Several eGovernance conferences are happening in India. But in most cases, these are dominated by IT experts and there is genuine dearth of domain expertise. The eINDIA2007 conference is extremely well chosen in terms of domains. I look forward to effective knowledge and expertise sharing among the participants and all stakeholders.

Technology is a comprehensive programme designed to leverage the capabilities of ICT to promote good governance across the country. The Indian economy is growing at a steady rate of 8-9%. For this growth to be sustainable there is a need to increase efficacy of business processes especially those directly controlled by the government. The eGov track of the eIndia2007 aims to bring together key stakeholders to forge the path to good governance for citizens and businesses in India, ensuring cross-pollination of information & knowledge across socio-economic and geographic boundaries.
