According to a latest update, Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal has asked his ministry officials to design a road map for creating a platform like Google. If reports are to be believed, Sibal has asked the officials to complete their work by 2014.
The new platform will reportedly allow Indians to service all Government departments with a single click of a mouse. This would be a common platform where users could avail all kind of government related internet services.
During inaugurating National Data Centre (NDC) spread over 60,000 square feet area, Sibal shared his views. He said, "My dream will only come true when we will provide people of India with that (Google) kind of platform and I hope before 2014 a blueprint of that kind of platform is laid on the table for me to sign on so that future is cast in stone. This is my dream and vision."
Presently, the officials from Department of Electronics and Information Technology are busy working on another project to create a new data centre to address future requirement after space in the NDC.
Well! When Indians would be able to use their own ‘Google-like’ platform, it is difficult to say anything on this. Let time decide it. Till then, stay tuned.
