Letter to Hon Minister IT, Mr Maran

Dear Hon Minister,

Do we need a e-government Act like the US one ?
Does IT Act 2000 meet our needs in the e-government?
What are the challenges the Government will have to face in e-government ?
What the Government can start doing right now?
What the Government should stop doing right away?

These are some of the questions raised in the blog given below and
some of them partially answered:

No doubt, some hackles will be raised on some of the potentially
sensitive topics. Constructive conflict to arrive at appropriate
policy options requires no holds barred debate and not shying away
from identifying the potential conflict of Interest for the
technology-bureaucracy.

If this post generates open discussion, the post would have more than
fully achieved its objective.

regards
nath
