About Core Committee

Preamble

The Government of Karnataka has implemented several initiatives in the area of e-Governance for improving transparency and efficiency in administration. Many of these initiatives have received acclaim and have led to better delivery of citizen services. It is now felt that a greater momentum has to be given to e-Governance initiatives.
In this regard, a ’Government - Industry' interaction seminar was held on 31st October 2008 to elicit suggestions for mapping a way forward for e-Governance in Karnataka. Based on the discussion in the seminar, it has been decided to form a Core Committee involving representatives of IT Sector, academia, civil society and Government for developing a road map for e-Governance in Karnataka.
