eGovernance Jt. Secretary Mr. R. Chandrashekar now Additional Secretary of eGovernace PROTECTING CEO of NISG !

Posted by nisg on June 28, 2006

Citizens of INDIA have written email letters to Mr. R. Chandrashekar asking for response from him, SO FAR he has not responded to any letters. Which shows that there is something to HIDE in NISG.

How NISG was formed and How it was CAPIALIZED ?

How he is playing with UNDP telling UNDP that NISG is Govt. of INDIA.

NASSCOM is playing into the hands of Mr. R. Chandrashekar.

Mr. R. Chandrashekar Joint Secretary of eGovernance has lot of explaining to do!

[now promoted as Additional Secretary]

Formation of NISG itself in question now:

When NIC was brought under the control of DIT and then Joint Secretary of eGovernance

Mr. R. Chandrashekar became Chairman of NICSI. NICSI is a Section 25 company in 1998,

under NIC with all controls under GOI Finance rule,

Parliament Control, CVC, CAG, CBC and RTI Act Etc.

THEN let us find out from Mr. Chandrashekar WHY did he form NISG which is a Section 25 company ?,

which does not have any control by GOI ? when NICSI was there since 1998 ? 

Is this not DUPLICATION ? Waste of Taxpayers Money ?

Waste of Funds Invested in NISG from International Organizations ? MNC’s ? and others ?

According MoA and AoA of NISG, NISG is 51% owned by NASSCOM,

WHERE NASSCOM does not have any business in getting into this arrangement with GOI.

NASSCOM is an Association of IT and BT companies in INDIA. NASSCOM should stay like an Association.

Why did Mr. R. Chandrashekar did this 51% ownership of NISG to NASSCOM ? WHY ?

If NISG is NOTACCOUNTABLE to any PARLIMENTARY LAWS of INDIA,

Why Mr. R. Chandrashekar promoting NISG ? Is there any VESTED INTEREST in NISG ?

With all these things in emails and News Papers about NISG,

Why Mr. R. Chandrashekar is allowing NISG to continue to sign MOU’s with MNC’s ?

Is there deal worked out here with NISG ?

INDIA RTI is a Right to Information in INDIA discussion group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/INDIARTI

Exclusive Discussion Group on Judicial and Legal Reforms in INDIA. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JUDICIALREFORMS

eGovINDIA is a group dedicated to promoting true e-governance in India, consisting of members from all walks of life from within INDIA and the World over. Many State Ministers and senior bureaucrats of India are members of this group. We do have lawyers, social activists, freelance writers and journalists in the group. The group is meant for serious activists only. Casual members are not allowed to join the group. The group is also moderated by an Indian Administrative Service  (IAS) Officer.  As on date, the group has nearly 2990 members.

The focus of this group is true e-governance and use of open source technology in e-governance. The members of this forum have a passion to see a truly e-governed India, resulting in transparency and easy access to government services by  the common man, notably the depressed class people (so called untouchables), women and people living in far flung and difficult areas of India.


Corruption is a stark reality in India. The recent reports put India in the worst category in corruption index. For the group members, e-governance means less corruption too.

The least we expect out of e-governance is transparency.UNDP has initiated some action now after our repeat emails and persistence.CVC, CBI and CAG  cannot be a mute  spectators anymore. WE NEED ACTION in INDIA !!!!!

WHY THERE IS NO ACTION FROM CVC, CAG andCBI on NISG and NASSCOM ????????????????????

Thanks
Sincerely

Dear Mr. Kemal Dervis,


NISG which had been formed under the auspicious of UNDP had been left free of any control mechanism in
India to be handled by three – four bureaucrats in India.So far, whatever money that had been used by NISG had come from UNDP only. No private partner had come forward to invest in it.NASSCOM, which is the largest private partner in NISG had not invested any amount in NISG, save for some software contribution which is unnecessary as open source software is available totally free of cost.UNDP had committed its $30 million to be spent only through the NISG. In short NISG means UNDP.

UNDP Funds Invested in NISG, a private limited company which does not come under Indian Parliament control procedures and NISG's non transparent Activities, raising serious concerns about the credibility of the UNDP in India.

So far, the officials of UNDP in Delhi had failed to look into the long term implications of these corrupt deviations in terms of the credibility of UNDP.

The very fact that the claim of the officials of NISG that they had looked into the complaints  against them and found them to be unsubstantiated shows that things are not happening the way UNDP would like it to happen.

UNDP cannot be a mute  spectator anymore.

UNDP has to seek withdrawal of its association from NISG. It would be just and proper for UNDP to realign with a Government of India organization such as National Informatics Centre (NIC) which is fully under the control and supervision of the Indian parliament.

This would save the name of the UNDP for the time being and in the long run too.

I hope I have made things clear for you to do the follow up.

Thanks.

V.M.Kumaraswamy, MBA
