Transforming to e-governance The advent of computers and Information Communication Technology is not only felt in the Corporate but also in Government Departments. Earlier Computers in Government departments were used merely as replacement to typewriters. Now the scenario has totally changed. ICT is used in all e-governance Initiatives which not only improve delivery of services to citizens, business and employees; will also engender re-engineering Government processes, making it more efficient and increasing transparency in how Government departments function. Normally the common man has to reach the Government Offices for getting the services. A radical transformation to the scenario is evolving. The web/mobile is becoming the interface for the Citizen with the Government for availing routine Government Services. The Mantra for this transformation is: Minimize Citizen Government Office interaction IT Department is striving towards this objective.

State Resident Data Hub(SRDH) State Resident Data Hub (SRDH) is a unified AADHAAR enabled Database of all citizens. It will help the Government in better targeting, effective service delivery, greater accountability and more efficient monitoring of schemes. It is also proposed to use it to put in place a biometric or `AADHAAR' based payment system to disburse welfare benefits to citizens. SRDH Integrates AADHAAR enabled National Population Register (NPR) with Departmental utility Databases on a real time basis. It facilitate AADHAAR authentication into various applications for the Departments.

Digital Maps Repository (TNGIS) Many departments in the State have been extensively working on GIS and Remote sensing Technology and huge volumes of datasets have been prepared at various scales for the State. However, due to lack of coordination there is no standardization on the data Restrictive map policies do not encourage sharing of maps among the departments. To overcome these issues, State Spatial Data Infrastructure (SSDI) is being proposed for the State in the name of TNGIS. Core / Technical Team of Resource Departments to support and deal with technical issues has been formed under TNeGA to propose the Common Framework, Common Platform, Common Coding, Standards for datasets, Application and Tools, Consolidation of village data. NIC has been assigned the role of Implementing Agency The Project has been inaugurated on 12.12.2014
