informationThe National Informatics Centre or NIC is an organization working under
the auspices of the Indian government. Its activities are fall under the
Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, specifically,
under the Department of Information Technology. The NIC's purpose is to
coordinate information on various government departments and
activities, increase the use of and efficiency levels of information
technology systems, as well as act as a hub linking different chains of
information and activities involved in the day-to-day running of the
government's activities with the various stakeholders, including state,
public and private interests. The NIC has a network of branches
countrywide in India, and at varying levels of government, including
state capitals and district headquarters.
The branches at state level are referred to as state units. In the state
of Karnataka, the NIC branch or state unit (National Informatics
Centre-Karnataka State Unit or NIC-KSU) is located in Bangalore. A
Memorandum of Understanding between the NIC and state government of
Karnataka has enabled the NIC-KSU to start a computerisation drive of
the state's departments, public sector interests as well as introduce or
reinforce this technology to the private sector within Karnataka where
necessary. This has the direct benefit of linking all resources to the
NIC-KSU data base and thus enabling the state to make better informed
fiscal and strategic planning decisions that affect each of the 27
districts in the state.
The technical requirements for this feat are adequately provided for at
NIC-KSU base, with the latest coordination and data storage and
management hardware and software being used to coordinate the mass of
information inflow and dissemination. High speed satellite links also
ensure that information from vastly different sectors like the
judiciary, education, agriculture, health, industry and others are
quickly amassed and collated for analysis.
Acting as a central portal from which access to the information it has
collated can be gained is the website for NIC-KSU, www.kar.nic.in. Using
this website, or by simply typing kar.nic.in into a search engine, one
can access the NIC-KSU site that is helpfully segmented into different
areas of information interest covering a vast spectrum from government
departments and sectors to private enterprise and socio-economic
activities in the state of Karnataka.
