Transforming Government since 2001
Cloud computing might be one technique for the implementation of the national e-governance plan (NeGP), secretary, department of information technology (DIT) said on Tuesday. “Cloud computing may have a role in the national e-governance plan. There are certainly some advantages that cloud computing could accrue, but that needs to be properly understood and investigated,” said secretary, DIT, R Chandrashekhar.

However, he also said that it was too early to say whether it would actually be a part of the plan or not, and to what extent that role would be prevalent. “But as people start using IT as a service such as software, data centres and all other means, which are all bundled together, cloud computing is also proving to be a fairly attractive model in India. First, many people may want to use ‘pay as you go’ model and that generally appeals to the Indian economy,” he added.

Second, he added, on the context of e-governance, there are other aspects of possibility through cloud computing. The pace of implementation can be accelerated by sharing resources like different kinds of software platform that are available for making e-services available in one state or one part of the country or a department.

Once they are put onto a cloud (may be a government cloud), it could help in the usage of the same artefacts by other departments and organisations to speed up the rolling out of different projects. “As we move towards better-connected and more centralised environment for delivery of services, the complexity is contained within the cloud, so the roll out of projects of various offices becomes simpler,” he said.

“These are the various possibilities on the horizon which could open. We are, therefore, looking at this window,” he said.
