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

PII – NATIONAL DATA CENTERS ► Enable Standardized Development/ Deployment platform ► Create Disaster recovery and Business continuity plan ► Ensure Co-hosting / Co-Location for hosting of Application/ Data ► Undertake consolidation of Data Centres ► Create Managed Data Center facilities ► Provide Information repository ► Create Data mining capabilities
PII – All DATA CENTERS ► Total Data Centers: 39 ► 35 States have individual Data Centers in different stages of operations ► 4 National Data Centers to manage operations State Data Center National Data Center Need to harmonize & standardize Data Center creation & operation
