“This has led to the advent of e-governance, which is the use of ICT in the public sector with an aspiration to improve the quality of services to citizens,” Ayemi said while addressing the valedictory function of a three-day-long workshop on “Change management and capacity building of e-governance” here at The Heritage.
The workshop, he said, discussed and deliberated all aspects of addressing issues and challenges to aid the acceleration of e-governance adoption in the state. He told the participants, numbering 51 from 28 departments, that the state government has undertaken the building of “core ICT infrastructure” in Nagaland.
Under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), core IT infrastructures such as the State Data Centre (SDC) – to host state level e-governance application—and the State Wide Area Network (SWAN) – to establish connectivity down to the local level—are under implementation.
Further, e-forms (Electronic Forms) on the State Portal and SSDG project have been formulated to make all government services accessible to citizens through a single window, while Common Service Centres (CSCs) are being set up in the state as front-end delivery points for government, private and social sector services to citizens.
He said that other Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) such as Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS), Treasury Computerization and Computerization of Public Distribution System are under various stages of implementation while MMPs such as e-District, which aims at delivery of high volume citizen centric government services to citizens by leveraging all existing NeGP infrastructure like SWAN, SDC, SP & SSDG and CSCs will be implemented soon.
Encouraging all departments to come forward and participate towards building a “smart government,” Ayemi said the capacity building and workshop programme have been taken up to build capacities and skill sets for ensuring successful implementation and adoption of e-Governance initiatives. He implored upon all the officials representing various departments to leverage on the e-Government bandwagon, become “Change Ambassadors” and work towards adopting a collaborative mindset to provide and improve service delivery to citizens.
The function was chaired by Akumla Aier, project engineer, Nagaland State e-Governance Society (which organized the training), Department of Information Technology & Communication in association with the National Institute for Smart Government, Hyderabad.
