The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will hold a meeting with various government departments to connect digital initiatives for e-governance and e-education.
The meeting will be held next week.
“In terms of e-education and e-governance India ranks way far below than the potential it has because of disconnect of good opportunities that are often not coming together and also help in improving long and sustainable effort that needs to be done,” said UNDP Country Director Jaco Cilliers, according to a statement issued by Assocham.
Cilliers said that India has established a clear lead in this area by going beyond policies that merely recognise strategic role of ICT for growth and development and is institutionalising concrete measures that support ICT initiatives.
