The driving force of the policy includes, leverage to internet, web and mobile technologies for developing new products, technologies and businesses; integrate internet-based and mobile-based delivery of services onto a common platform to enable seamless, ubiquitous, secure and personalized delivery of government and non-government services across the country; extend the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) and mandate provision of all Government services through electronic mode within a fixed time frame by enactment of the Electronic Delivery of Services (EDS) Bill; enhance transparency, accountability, efficiency, reliability and decentralization in Government and in particular, in delivery of public services and facilitate development of content accessible in all Indian languages and thereby help bridge the digital divide.
It is anticipated that new policy will be excellent for small and medium businesses and start-up ventures, and help in capturing a major market share in cloud-based services. Moreover, concentration will be on establishing new centers of excellence in institutions of advanced studies.
The minister said, "As most of the IT companies are located in big cities like Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, the policy will now look at expanding to tier II and tier III cities as well."
