[icernet] Skewed planning impeding e-governance, says Nasscom

[Arul Selvan]

The unwillingness of governments to commit funding, the absence of a 
clear revenue stream for private sector and inappropriate tendering 
processes are hampering the growth of e-governance in the country, the 
National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) has 
said. Though the e-governance market grew by 18 per cent in 2001-02 to 
touch Rs 1,400 crore and is currently the highest growing segment in the 
domestic IT market, several `operational, economic, personnel, planning 
and implementation issues' stall progress in the area, Nasscom said 
after releasing the findings of its e-governance study.
