Event- iStates 2008: eGov capacity building conference

Date: 09 Jan 2009 Pragya Bhawan, Pt Nehru Complex, Agartala

Governments across the world have a commitment to meet by year 2015—that of the Millennium Development Goals, a mandate that shows the strong commitment of the states towards the right to Education, Health for all, peace and security, gender equality, poverty eradication and sustainable human development.

While laudable efforts are being made at the national and the state level across the world, India has emerged as one of the few countries that is making an effort to address the MDG issues through both strategic initiatives—like National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan—as well as through ICT intervention like the NeGP.

However, a big issue that still remains to be addressed is the capacity building of all stake holders, including the executives and the policymakers in successfully rolling out these initiatives, particularly those in the e-Governance space.

While iGovernment has been trying to help the cause by disseminating information on e-Gov and Good Governance through its informative and thought provoking content and daily e-Newsletter across its 40,000 subscribers, we have decided to take the efforts further by reaching out to the required audience through state level capacity building seminars in partnership with the Department of IT, Ministry of Communication & IT, Government of India.

The capacity building initiative aims at creating awareness as well as buying commitment from the government employees by actively involving them through thought provoking presentations and interactive discussion, including an Open House, where experts from the bureaucracy and industry would be available to address any e-Gov related queries.
