Nowadays, ICT has become all pervasive and easy accessible to everyone and almost everywhere. In the current scenario it is not relevant if one uses ICT, but rather how one uses it. Several projects which have been nominated in the eINDIA Awards 2009 have used the simple technologies, but what make them different from the others are their application because of which they have created beneficial impact for the citizens.
The eINDIA Award programme is held annually alongside eINDIA conference proceedings. eINDIA Awards are open to national and international government organisations, civil society organisations, bi-lateral, multi-lateral developmental organisations and enterprises which have transformed social development opportunities into a sustainable social enterprise through innovative use of ICT.
