Sun and IIT establish e-governance centre

Filed under:

Sun Microsystems and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) have announced the establishment of an e-governance centre in Delhi.

The centre will conduct research on a variety of topics, such as the improvement of social infrastructure, security enhancement and a reduction of the government’s budget. The insititute is also slated to evaluate the impact of technology on society and formulate appropriate IT policy papers.

The e-governance facility has already organised various workshops to highlight technological advances, such as the national seminar on ODF, workshop on data centres and the IGNOU workshop.

“The role of technology in enabling e-governance is paramount,” said Jaijit Bhattacharya, a Sun India director. “Technology can connect the three participants in an e-governance structure, namely government, citizens and businesses, as well as support processes and activities. We have already received very positive feedback from several government agencies such as Ministry of IT and National Informatics Centre with some of them expressing a keen interest in sourcing out the strategic conceptualisation of projects from this Centre for E-governance.”

Professor MP Gupta of IIT explained that collaboration with Sun leveraged their technology to create a sound platform for e-governance projects.

“This centre is also an apt platform to further the cause of open source and open standards, both of which are extremely relevant for the government and Sun’s expertise and propagation of these two areas as well known,” he added.
