JharkhandWe can leverage the expertise of NIC / NICSI in implementing turn key IT Projects. Sailesh Kumar Singh, IT Secretary, Govt.of Jharkhand.

The Department of Information Technology, Jharkhand was formed nearly five years ago. During these years we have implemented large number of ICT projects in sectors like Finance (Treasury & GPF), Transport, Jails, Commercial Tax, Registration, Municipal Corporation, Land Records etc. Moreover Jharkhand was among the first in the country to set up SWAN (Jhar-Net). Video Conferencing & IP Telephony facility over Jhar-Net has been successful with high utilization. We have also set up a Data centre at Ranchi where most of the applications are hosted. At present we are working towards strengthening our Data Centre for better management of e-governance projects to provide efficient and timely service. We have also established Jharkhand Space Application Centre (JSAC) to leverage technology in the area of Space Application for the benefit of the people. The state is blessed with abundant natural resources hence the importance of space application technology assumes greater significance.
