The Indian Government is undertaking mega-projects to digitise information with the intention to deliver services to citizens in a more streamlined and effective manner.
e-Governance has become a buzzword and leverages the vast IT capital the country has created to benefit a larger population. Whether it is land records, defense records, tax records or health records, information housed within government institutions is growing manifold.
