The Indian government will spend Rs.3.13 billion ($80 million) over three years to build capacity of policy and decision makers for the nation's e-governance plan, to be implemented by the department of information technology.
The capacity building scheme, approved Thursday by the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs, will provide technical and professional help to develop specialised e-governance skills to policy and decision making bodies in all the states and union territories.
The approval would help in setting up of a central capacity building management cell to coordinate and implement the scheme.
The cell will be working under the empowered committee for capacity building under the chairmanship of IT secretary, an official release said.
