e-governance

GRAMJYOTI - RURAL BROADBAND BY ERICCSON Once the 3G Spectrum Issue is sorted out 3G HSPA will become the default technology for operators to bridge

Students in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) here might be busy with preparations for the students' union elections at the moment, but the administration is all set to make a sea change
in "governance". With the e-governance project -- which has been in the pipeline for some time now -- almost up and running, the campus will be almost paper-free by this coming December.

It has been an outstanding year for the Indian IT industry. The financial year clocked the highest growth of the decade (34%) in exports, which totalled US $17.2 billion. The closing days of the year brought fresh cheer. The NASSCOM McKinsey Report 2005 revealed that if the present looks good, the future seems even brighter. It sees the Indian IT industry becoming as important as Japan's automobile industry, French fashion or Saudi petroleum. At present, India's share in the global software industry is about 3%. We dominate the offshoring market, with 65% and 46% share in global IT and BPO respectively. The report estimates the global offshoring market is almost ten times the present size. Keeping this in mind, and looking at other aspects of demand and supply, the report concludes that the Indian IT industry can generate export revenues of $60 billion in 2010.
