Background

E-Governance is no longer a mere buzzword amongst government and industry circles but a reality, which cannot be ignored. Given the central and state level support, various departments are now vying to have their place etched in the annals of successful e-Governance projects. So there is an urgent need to share and deliberate on the factors for building effective e-Governance solutions.

The DATAQUEST e-Gov Champion Award 2006 is an attempt in this direction now and would look into the nominations from the activities during 2005. The Summit attempts to look at how various departments are going about the e-Gov business.
