Cisco and the National Institute for Smart Government (NISG) came together to host the 3rd Annual India Public Sector Summit on e-governance in the capital. The theme of this year's summit is Networked Nations: Transformational Change with e-governance.
The summit, held on 29-30 October, was inaugurated by R. Chandrashekhar, additional secretary (e-governance) of Department of Information Technology, Government of India, with a keynote address by John Chambers, chairman and CEO of Cisco, on the first day of his 3-day visit to India.
According to Chambers, governments worldwide have made significant progress in moving services online by implementing a network-based approach to increase access for citizens and improve productivity in national and local government. "The network truly can provide the platform for leading this transformation," he said.
Speaking at the summit, Chandrashekhar said, "This forum provides an opportunity for the Department of Information Technology to share and discuss its plans with leaders from the states and union territories - leaders responsible for implementing these plans in their respective jurisdictions."
The summit focused on key priorities of the national e-governance plan, including e-districts, unique identification, capacity building, and leading transformational change. It will provide a platform for government decision-makers to exchange their views and experience on the various facets of e-governance.
J. Satyanarayana, CEO of NISG, said, "The summit will enable sharing of knowledge and experience, which will go a long way in increasing the pace of implementation and realizing the goals of providing better public services in the country."
