Challenges & Changes Needed




Program on this scale never conceived
Each Pillar/program has own challenges
Human Resource Issues






Financial Resource Issues






NIC - not equipped for a fraction of this task (obsolesce) - needs revamping & restructuring
DeitY – needs program managers – at least 4 more officers at senior levels
Ministries – Need a Chief Information Officer / Chief Technology Officer (CIO/CTO)
 Could begin with CIOs 10 major Ministries
 Can be anyone – from within or outside government
 To be patterned as AS & FAs – dual reporting
Mostly structured around ongoing programs : Better focus, need some restructuring
Some others are process improvements or better utilisation of resources
A few new programs may be needed – particularly in Electronics manufacturing and Skill Development

Coordination Issues




Program covers many other departments
Need commitment and effort
Leadership and support critical for success

DIGITAL IND IA

Revamping of MMPs: Common Application Software
 Common Application Software (CAS) for MMPs to be developed to avoid duplication and to bring standardization

 CAS to follow standards to ensure interoperability
 DeitY has notified 47 technical standards
 Open Standards shall be mandated for all applications
 Open Source Software to be used in CAS
 CAS shall publish Open APIs for sharing of data and ensuring interoperability  E-Authentication as needed for access

DIGITAL IND IA

Revamping of MMPs: CAS (Contd.)
 CAS to be hosted on the Cloud platform as SaaS
 CAS to be customizable and configurable as per states’/depts.’ requirements  Technical teams to support states in implementation of CAS
 Development of CAS being taken up in the following domains:






Scholarships
PDS
Road Transport
Pensions (NSAP)
E-Courts

 States need to ensure creation of electronic databases for CAS
 Online repositories for all Govt. documents/certificates, citizens should not be required to produce them

Right of Way

Importance for future of communication

Broadband is the future of communication
• Faster Broadband speeds critically dependent on network of optical fibre (OF).
• OF transmission permits video, big data and cloud services. • Important to resolve Right-of-Way (RoW) issues to enable OF cable network.
• NOFN facilitated by free RoW permissions.

States/U.Ts requested to simplify and rationalise RoW for telecom OFC infrastructure

RoW clearances

Telecom cable infrastructure
Single window online RoW clearances
• Create standardised online mechanism for clearances

Time bound approvals
Rationalise RoW charges
• Section 12 of Indian Telegraph Act: Local authority charges to be limited to payment of any

expenses to which the authority would necessarily be put in consequence”

RoW charges
Principles

Demand for annual RoW charges not legally permissible Reasonable relationship between RoW charges and damage to road caused by laying of fibre
In practice, RoW charges levied range from free to Rs 1.27 crore per km.
NHAI has issued guidelines in August 2013 for free RoW with road berm to be restored to original condition by telecom service provider.

RoW

Other issues
Licensed
Urban Areas

• Provide for laying of optical fibre along with electricity, water and sewarage lines.
• Leave sites for mobile tower installation in planning.
• Consider provision of ducts for telecom cables during road construction Building byelaws

• Provide for internal telecom fittings in all buildings similar to electricity fittings. • National Building Code being amended to incorporate telecom infrastructure in buildings.

Data validation of uncovered villages
• Plan of Union Govt. to provide mobile connectivity to all villages which do not have mobile connectivity.
– Estimated 55,000 villages.

• Validation of data undertaken as per Census
2011.
• Names of uncovered villages would be sent to
States/UTs by September 10.
• Request to validate and revert by October 15.

Other issues
• Endeavour to facilitate provision of wi-fi services in public places in all cities with a population of more than 1 million and in tourist spots.
– States to identify public places.
– States through Urban Local Bodies to provide access points for provision of public wi-fi facilities.

• Village Public Telephones.
– VPTs have been installed in 5.82 lakh villages through BSNL.
– States/U.Ts to identify custodian for VPTs.

Why NeGP 2.0?

(1/2)

o For enhancing portfolio of citizen centric services o Current Portfolio of MMPs does not cover all citizen centric services o Long gestation period of MMPs (Health, Education, e-Posts) o Desirability of optimum usage of core infrastructure o SDC – 23/33, SWAN – 33/36, SSDG – 20/36, CSCs –
135,598
o Fully established MSDG, NSDG and Payment Gateway o Current average utilization of assets is about 50 % o For rapid replication and integration of eGov applications o Lack of integrated services o Lack of end to end automation o Lack of interoperability among exiting eGov applications o Lack of replication of successful eGov applications across

Why NeGP 2.0?

(2/2)

o Need to exploit Emerging Technologies o Cloud o Mobile Platform- Smart phones, Tablets o In-Memory Database o Software Defined Network (SDN) o Big Data Analytics o Avoid risk of obsolescence o Need for introducing more agile implementation models

Need for Redefining NeGP o Incremental approach Vs. Transformational

approach o Consequence of SWOT Analysis o New Image o New Priorities o Global Leadership

NeGP 2.0 (e-Kranti)

2- Pronged Implementation Strategy








State DIT to appoint State Designated Agency (SDA)
– Work under aegis of State Apex Committee’s CSC Task Force
– Powers delegated to take operational decisions.
State Project Management Unit (SPMU)
– Flexible institutional framework- Society/ joint venture/ company / directorate
– Administrative and financial management
– Service delivery & impact assessment
– Coordinating with DeitY, DeGS & implementation partners
– Collaborating with the National Service Provider and the CSC Academy
District e-Governance Society (DeGS)
– Implement & manage the CSC Scheme
– Operationalise the CSC network- appoint VLEs
– Existing CSCs may be migrated into the new Scheme by DeGS
– Additional CSCs to be operationalised to cover all Gram Panchayats.
– DeGs will coordinate with the implementation partners to provide VLEs with the required support
Implementation Partners
– The SDA to implement 4 components directly or outsource to private implementation partners
– All implementation partners to work in collaboration with DeGS
– The SDA to decide implementation strategy- “bundling”
– SDA to decide to continue to entrust one or more of SCAs and/or select new partners for the implementation of CSC 2.0.
– The SDA to decide the geographic scope of the work.

Non-Exhaustive Examples of Bundling Scope of Work
• A single implementation partner to implement all components across the State
• A single private implementation partner at State level to operationalise
State CSC Services Portal, Help Desk and TSP, while DeGS to operationalise CSC Network at District level
• Single implementation partner at State level to operationalise State CSC
Services Portal and Help Desk and an implementation partner for each district/zone to operationalise CSC Network and TSP
• State to implement State CSC Services Portal directly, with private implementation partner(s) to operationalise the CSC Network. Also, a private implementation partner selected as TSP and another implementation partner to operationalise the Help Desk

• SDA to directly implement all components through SPMU.

CSC 2.0: Financial Model
Transaction based Sustainable Model
• Self-sustaining: Income through online service delivery
Commission Sharing
• Contract based sharing between VLE, DeGS, SDA, Implementation Partners etc
• Commission structure for services standardized by State
• Paid by the service provider or by the citizen
Financial strengthening of SDA and DeGS through income earned
• To implement and manage CSC Scheme
• Hiring requisite manpower
• Upgrading infrastructure
• Awareness and publicity
• Service enablement
• Training and capacity building
• Assessment and monitoring
• Other administrative expenses
Digital Inclusion Fund
• National level to support activities related to service enablement, capacity building and operational support for
CSCs.
• Contributors: USO Fund, Ministries & Departments, Ecosystem members
• Private sector may be allowed to leverage their CSR budgets to contribute to this fund.
• DeitY may be appointed as the fund administrator,
• National Inter-Ministerial Committee for CSCs will monitor the use of the Fund.
• Estimated Corpus of Rs 200 crores.

Orientation of leadership, Specialized training for officers, SeMTs

Total Outlay approved in Cabinet approval of Jan 2008 - Rs
313 cr
 Cost components



60% GIA for SeMT Manpower Cost and training
40% ACA for operational expenditure

Virtual IT/e-Governance Cadre in State/UT Governments

Background
Recommendations of the HR Policy for eGovernance
“Committee not in favour of recommending the creation of a cadre unless it could be created as a virtual cadre with resources taken on deputation and through market hiring based on defined competencies. This will enable the following: 

Provide to the States/UTs resources with updated knowledge/skill-set at different levels and for different competencies. 

Provide flexibility to match demand based on the project lifecycle/requirement of Departments.”

Gap
Ownership

• Projects largely vendor driven

Continuity

• Transfers cause delays/change in process

Knowledge

• Lack of a pool for training and capacity building

Advantages of virtual cadre







Dedicated resources in Departments
Creates pool of knowledge in Govt
Enables :
 easier acceptance of e-Governance
 better prioritisation
 process re-engineering
 better management of SLAs etc.
No permanent liability; hence limited financial implications, cadre management issues

One of the major positive aspect of this programme is that, Government services are made available to citizens  electronically and people get all the latest information and benefits of technology. The programme targets at empowering the nation digitally and it also includes plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. Digital India has three core components which includes, the creation of digital infrastructure, delivering services digitally and digital literacy. Thus this helps in bringing e-governance to every individual. Other facilities include Digital Locker, e-education, e-health, e-sign and national scholarship portal.. Thus it will be a boost to industry for both large and small enterprises. It create a lot of jobs and helps the citizens to connect directly with the government.

Along with all these positive aspects there are also some drawbacks associated with this programme. These includes, the ambiguity regarding the efficiency with which the programme handles the personal data of so many citizens of...

Introduction Mobile-Banking is a buzz word in the banking sector throughout the world and Indian banks are not exception to it. The liberalization, globalization and privatization of the Indian economy in 1990s paved a more flexible functioning of the services sector and particularly the banking industry. Added to this the adoption of technology in the banking sector has made a remarkable advancement in the service quality of the banks in India. Now bank customers are availing their banking services through internet banking, ATM services and further it has added one more feather to its services by introducing Mobile-Banking to its channel of distribution. Mobile banking is a subset of banking as it allows everyone easy access to their banking activities via., mobile handset (YU&Fang, 2009).

Myth Maker

...Announcing a new era The languor and still life speeches of Manmohan Singh’s era had to be forgotten. First Mr. Modi enters exuding confidence. He knows he has to announce a new era. He goes beyond Nehruvianism by appealing to the civics of Swadeshi. This is not the language of politics but of virtue, of the qualities required for nation building. He is attired in a saffron turban with a green border: a Bandhini, Kutchi in its origin. He evokes a new style and his voice resonates a different world. India is not making tryst with destiny. It is going to meet the future by reconstructing it. The camera widens the frame. Lal Quila is not just a fortress. It is a landscape of temples, history and a sense of a bigger city. He is standing at the ramparts announcing a new era by reworking the grammar of the old. There is no big statement on productivity, no appeal to economics, no cliché about foreign policy, no reference to corruption, hardly any mention of China or Pakistan. It is a day for positives, for a nation to recharge itself. The language is simple: it is not politics, not policy; it is a simple sermon on values, simply done, almost faultless. This Independence Day speech does not begin with 1947. It begins with a salute to those who build the nation. The first shift in attitude is here. Mr. Modi says, “I address you not as Prime Minister but as the first servant of the nation.” He then suggests a nation is not made by a great man but by its people. A nation is built by...
