According to the Chairman of the National Knowledge Commission in India Mr. Sam Pitroda E-governance is the key focus area for the Commission and it will recommend setting up web portals on 10 topics and GIS mapping of the country.
These 10 recommendations will be presented to the Government in 90 days and include setting up web portals on energy, environment, knowledge network, higher education, university reforms, intellectual property rights (IPR), agriculture, traditional knowledge, health information and issues related to plants, communicable disease and distance learning. E-governance is the key focus area for the Commission so it should therefore create standards for web-based services and deal with organizational issues, he added.
