    The book is substantially based on the scholarly deliberations of a seminar organized by DSIDC, which was attended by representatives of industry, academia, scientific organizations, government departments, planners & architects. It deals with problems faced by industries in Delhi and attempts to hammer out solution and remedies. Delhi is not only national capital of India but also a pulsating industrial city. The industrial activity saw a spectacular growth of industrial activity from a mere 8,000 units in 1951 to more than 85,000 units in 1991. Industries have contributed in a big way to the growth of population of the city. The workshop was organized to debate further industrialization of city and the manner of doing so.

    - Present

    The Government of India approved Rupees 23,000 Crores (US $ 4.6 billion) National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 27 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 10 components, on May 18, 2006 with following vision:

    The Government of India approved Rupees 23,000 Crores (US $ 4.6 billion) National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 27 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) and 10 components, on May 18, 2006 with following vision:

    “Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency & reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man.”

    The NeGP was formulated on the basis of large number of eGov initiatives undertaken by governments at the federal, state and local levels during previous 15 years. Experiences from successes as well as the failures of the various initiatives played an important role in shaping the e governance strategy of the country contained in NeGP, which takes a holistic view towards the entire e-Governance initiative across the country. It was perceived that if e-Governance was to be speeded up across the various arms of government at the national , state and local government level, a programme approach would need to be adopted, which must be guided by a common vision, strategy and approach to objectives. This approach would have the added advantage of enabling huge savings in cost, in terms of sharing the core and support infrastructure, enable interoperability through standards etc, which would result in the citizen having a seamless view of Government. With this background, the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) was formulated by the Government, for implementation across the country.
    I have been engaged since begining providing strategic advice on different aspects like capacity building, e-Forms, eDistrict, Cloud for accelerating implementation of mission mode programs across the country etc.

    The objective of the National Population Register (NPR) is to create a comprehensive identity database in the country with full identification and other details by registering each and every usual resident in the country.

    The UIDAI's mandate is to issue every resident a unique identification number linked to the resident's demographic and biometric information, which they can use to identify themselves anywhere in India, and to access a host of benefits and services. The number has been named Aadhaar, which translates into 'foundation', or 'support'.
    "The name Aadhaar communicates the fundamental role of the number issued by the UIDAI the number as a universal identity infrastructure, a foundation over which public and private agencies can build services and applications that benefit residents across India."

    We got engaged with UIDAI right from its inception and provided advice on their implementation strategy on following aspects:
    Policy
    Strategy
    Architecture and
    Implementation.
