Digital India in Action

Message - Chairperson, SIGeGoV 2015
It is my pleasant duty to thank Mr L C Singh personally for Nihilent Technologies
Ltd, continuous financial support. But for him and his team, the awards would not
have been possible.
As SIG e-Gov Chair, I had the privilege of getting the best Conveners and the
Editorial Team, consisting of Mr GSN Prabhu [my ex colleague from CMC], Ms
Sridevi Ayaluri [ex NISG] and Dr K.S.Vijaya Sekhar [IIITH], each one of them
with long association with CNEA.
Ms Sridevi Ayaluri took on extra responsibility of heading the editorial team along
with Dr. K.S. Vijaya Sekhar for the compendium in your hand. She was ably
supported by Ms. Rekha PKS. Thank you conveners and the editorial team
It will not be out of place to commend Prof Harish P Iyer, the past convener of
CNEA, for his continuous support.
We hope you will find in this compendium the richest source of information on
praiseworthy eGov initiatives. The complete papers are also available on our web
site http://www.csi-sigegov.org, for any reference.
Thanks are also due to Dr.P.J.Narayanan, the director IIITH for allowing the use of
its infrastructure and student community for CNEA activity. I am glad to share
that during 2015, we have been able to lay the foundation for the SIG e-Gov’s
website to transform itself into becoming one of the richest knowledge portals in
India dedicated solely to the domain of eGovernance. As a first step, we have
uploaded several hundred case studies on the portal. These can be freely accessed
and studied by making full use of the state-of-the-art advanced search facility. I
invite you to make full use of it.
As we conclude CNEA 2015, with Golden Jubilee celebration and annual
convention of CSI, it gives me immense satisfaction and pride for being a part of
the e-Government fraternity. We have done a lot and have yet to do lot more, miles
to go before we sleep. I do not know if Gen next will have more challenges or easy
life with technology, but for sure expectation will be higher.
Thank you
Surendra Kapoor
