The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and Info Tech Corporation of Goa Ltd. (ITG), a Government of Goa Undertaking, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to implement eGovernance solutions for the State Government.

A plan to set-up an eGovernance cell in association with ITG will also be implemented shortly.

According to Shri. R.K. Arora, Executive Director, C-DAC, the Government of Goa will also utilize C-DAC's expertise and eGovernance software to enhance operations and services provided by its various departments. As per the MoU, C-DAC will first study and understand the existing level of computerization in the state departments.

Based on feedback, it will then proceed to execute technology solutions for the implementation of the eGovernance programme.

The state government's initiative is expected to accelerate the growth of Information Technology (IT) industries.
