15th National Conference on e-Governance

The 15th National Conference on e-Governance held at KIIT Auditorium, KIIT University Campus, Bhubaneswar, Odisha on 9th-10th February 2012 under the joint auspices of the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances and Department of Information Technology, Government of India along with Department of Information Technology, Government of Odisha. At a time when many key technology and management strategies are transforming the way government gathers, shares and gleans knowledge from the explosion of information available to policy makers and practitioners, the 15th National Conference on e-Governance based on the theme " Towards Effective Electronic Service Delivery", provides a forum for intensive deliberations on critical issues by the e-Governance community of the country. It would explore how government departments will work collectively to simplify access to public information for accessible anywhere, anytime, and to everybody, ensure the accuracy and privacy of the information they share and analyze large data repositories to support actionable decision-making especially at the lowest level of governance in Gram Panchayats and Municipalities. Also understanding, measuring, reporting, most importantly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the local governance and capacity required for successful and sustainable implementation would also be discussed.
