Public Information Infrastructure

Inclusive Growth
Social Equity & Development
Security & Welfare
Transparency & Accountability
Participative Decision Making
Improved Governance
UPA Government’s progressive Agenda includes This requires Re-engineering of existing systems & processes

All 3 Pillars of Government are focused on speedy Implementation Across 35 States & Union Territories – multiple establishments & multiple channels for delivery of public services need Re-engineering Executive Legislature Judiciary GOVERNMENT

Fragmented structures
Archaic processes
Lack of co-ordination and communication
Lack of Transparency, Accountability & Clarity
Duplication of Efforts, Conflicting Priorities & Increasing Costs
Inadequate trained manpower
Inadequate Local self government
Pendency in Judicial system
Poor Infrastructure & Connectivity
Increased threat of Security, Safety & Disaster
Increasing Citizen expectations
Unified Information Infrastructure will expedite implementation However, there are substantial Challenges in Implementation

Information Information as lever of Economic and Social Development Information available in real time to share, manage & collaborate - accurate, reliable, timely & usable Government control of strategic information - critical In the 21 st century – Information will be the fourth pillar of democracy Executive Legislature Judiciary FUTURE OF GOVERNANCE

INFORMATION
Strengthening the Fourth Pillar of Democracy requires
PUBLIC INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE (PII) to
Create - access, connectivity, systems, processes, programs, structures, standards & platform
Integrate - geographical (Centre/State) & sectoral (agriculture, transport, finance etc.) boundaries & applications into Single-Secure National Information Space

Why Public Information Infrastructure?
Information is a “public good” / “merit good”
Will bring Technology and People together on an equitable/inclusive platform
Radicalize democracy through informed citizen participation
Improve delivery of & access to public services
Empower local governance & community institutions
Enhance Equity & Efficiency
Public information infrastructure will transform India’s 1.2 billion people into 1.2 billion “opportunities”

Opportunities with Public Information Infrastructure (PII)
Radically transform governance
Examples:
Payment of wages
Education
Health
Agriculture
Financial Services
Citizen Services
Enable constant upgrading of capacities of grassroots functionaries
Provide new opportunities for “crowd”-sourcing of ideas, feedback and evaluation from citizens on governance issues

Panchayats as Nodal Point for Citizen Services
Panchayat as political institution is the unit for local self-government & authorized space for community interface
Panchayat is the location of Bharat Nirman Kendras which will become the nodal point at Panchayat level for citizen services
Bharat Nirman Kendra will become the key service delivery unit for PII

Lack a holistic approach across sectors and programmes
Do not recognize local specificity or the role for local government
Technology, standards and processes are also diverse –
Need for technical core unit / team
Need for CIO to effect technological consistency, economy
Need for optimality, strategic control and vendor-independence
Present Information Infrastructures

PII will leverage technological opportunities arising from
Telecom & IT industry, infrastructure, access and usage
Transition of telecom network, services and users from voice to data
Nation-wide backbone of BSNL, complemented by RailTel and PowerTel
Roll-out of Broadband Wireless (WiMax & such other technologies) with spectrum allocation soon, with 3G auction over
Technological talent pool
Market potential for 100 million broadband connections
Connected billion people

PII will technologically effect optimality & efficiency by
Creating standards that ensure interoperability
Creating open source software, vendor independence and applications for sustainability and scalability
Creating secure spaces for public data and repositories of citizen & Panchayat data
Building in strategic control features to ensure oversight over concessionaires, operators etc.
Connecting multiple applications and existing databases/networks through a device & network agnostic platform
Building next generation architecture and capacities that create new possibilities

Towards Open Government
PII will enable a move towards Open Government by ‘Democratising Information’
This will lead to greater transparency, accountability, collaboration, cooperation and decentralised decision-making in Government
Access to information will be critical to enhance civic engagement, improve service delivery as well as create empowerment, especially at the grassroots

PII will consist of five elements
PANCHAYATS - BHARAT NIRMAN KENDRAS
ICT NETWORK for all devices & all nets
High capacity fibreoptics, IP switches & routers, Local Area Networks, Broadband connectivity through wired & wireless 3G, Wimax, Wifi, Network Management Centre(NMC)
Terminal devices – Mobile, PC, TV, laptops, etc.
DATA CENTRES
Servers, farms, utilities
CYBERSECURITY
Single, unified, secure & scalable cyber space at multiple levels for privacy, anti-piracy & integrity
APPLICATIONS & PLATFORM
