The disparity in the impact of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) across the country underscores the uneven economic development.

Project e-Sishu, jointly developed by OCAC, STPI and CSM Technologies, was awarded at the seminar for innovative programme in tracking each and every child of Orissa
