Many Indian states find themselves faced with difficulties in delivering effective services to citizens due to limited resources and outreach, low literacy levels and geographical factors. To go beyond incremental improvements, the Government of India has approved a National e-Governance plan (NeGP) with a vision to ‘make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realize the basic needs of the common man’. Here is how Mindtree helped.
E-GOVERNANCE. E-governance, meaning 'electronic governance' is using information and communication technologies (ICTs) (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) at various levels of the government and the public sector and beyond, for the purpose of enhancing governance.
Digital India is a campaign launched by the Government of India to ensure that Government services are made available to citizens electronically by improved online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology.

Digital India is a campaign launched by the Government of India to ensure that Government services are made available to citizens electronically by improving online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. Digital India was launched by Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister on 2nd July 2015 with an objective of connecting rural areas with high-speed Internet networks and improving digital literacy i.e. the knowledge, skills, and behaviors used in a broad range of digital devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs, all of which are seen as network rather than computing devices. The Digital India Programme aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy by leveraging IT as a growth engine of new India. Even though India is known as a powerhouse of software, the availability of electronic government services to citizens is still comparatively low. The National e- Governance Plan approved in 2006 has made a steady progress through Mission Mode Projects and Core ICT Infrastructure, but greater thrust is required to ensure effective progress in electronics manufacturing and e-Governance in the country. The Vision of Digital India is a power to empower citizens through digital literacy provides the intensified impetus to develop India for a knowledgeable future by developing central technology for allowing revolution which covers many departments under one umbrella programme. This paper is an attempt to study mainly opportunities, impact and challenges of vision of digital India.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

15. ENABLERS FOR A WIN-WIN PARTNERSHIP IN EGOVERNANCE
15
20-Jul-23
• There are several issues which need to be ironed out for making a win-win partnership for both
Government and IT Industry in eGovernance
• In order to overcome the issues, some key enablers- categorized as short term/immediate enablers
and medium term enablers- are highlighted.
• These enablers have been identified based on the detailed NASSCOM study in 2010, through an
extensive research and interview process, both with the government and Industry partners.
• Short term/Immediate Enablers
a) Constitution of Project Development Fund
b) Procurement challenges - stringent SLA’s
c) Definition of go-live of an application is not define properly
d) Unlimited liability terms faced by implementation partner
16. ENABLERS FOR A WIN-WIN PARTNERSHIP IN EGOVERNANCE
16
20-Jul-23
e) Turnkey Projects have several elements which are not core to IT Services like civil works, site
preparation, provisioning of power and backup power etc.
f) There is hardly any provision to accommodate for work and payments related to significant
scope creep for the modified requirements of the user especially during and post go-live phases
g) Payment terms and conditions, though milestone based several times, are skewed towards
the end of the contract
h) Clearly defining the roles and responsibilities for each of the Government agencies involved in
an eGovernance project, right at the time of project conceptualization is essential
I) Streamlining of payment process in State Governments and line departments at the Centre Govt.
J) Improvement in quality of resources and continuity of key personnel being deployed by Industry
participants and Consulting partners for eGovernance projects
17. ENABLERS FOR A WIN-WIN PARTNERSHIP IN EGOVERNANCE
17
20-Jul-23
Medium term Enablers
a) Revamp of nodal agencies/government societies/bodies mandated to drive eGovernance
initiatives in the state
b) Empowerment of government officials directly involved in IT projects, enabling, quicker
decision making
c) Build/Acquire suitable technical capabilities and skills in vendor management,
outsourced/remote sourced engagements, supported with the right level of authority and
institutional structures
d) Need to evolve a mechanism to synergize technology investments being made by
different states and also by various departments within the same state to avoid
duplication of efforts
18. WAY FORWARD
18
20-Jul-23
• NASSCOM and its Members believe, addressing the short/immediate term challenges based on the suggested
recommendations and consultations would provide a much needed fillip to the Government – IT Industry
partnership in eGovernance.
• However, for it to be sustainable, it is imperative that necessary time bound steps are taken to address the
medium term challenges on priority
• Towards the above, it is recommended to constitute a high level task force, comprising of senior government
officials and members of the industry, with clearly defined Terms of Reference and timeline
