CSI Nihilent eGov Awards 2017: Call for Nominations

The Computer Society of India’s Nihilent e-Governance (CNeG) Awards have paralleled the evolution of National e-Governance plan [NeGP], Digital India and Digital Transformation initiatives of the Country. 

These awards were instituted way back in the year 2002 with three major objectives:

• To be an independent focal point for the assessment of e-Governance initiatives in the country.
• To take the lead in recognizing the vision and the effort of various levels of Government officials in bringing e-Governance initiatives to fruition against all odds.
• To act as a repository and to provide a channel for e-Governance champions of the Country to share their knowledge with interested stakeholders i.e., an aggregator of e-Governance knowledge and experience originating in the country.

The CNeG Awards process is now in the 15th year. In keeping with vision of the founders of the CNeG Awards – all categories have acquired unparalleled levels of respectability and repute. Pioneers of e-Governance in the Country have been at the helm of the awards. The Governments - both at the Centre and State levels - and many of their departments provide their active support, year after year.
