Introduction
The contradiction in India is that the country is rightly recognised a global leader in the delivery of IT services, but it suffers from very little internal IT development in the country. Technology leads - in the private sector, by companies, corporations and non-governmental groups. Where it is the weakest and where it can have the greatest impact - is in the government sector.

Story So far
Commodity-based approach: counterproductive ,more expensive in the long-run. We are now witnessing a shift from the commodity based IT approach to a mature solution/services based approach. The central and state governments has started procuring IT services rather than procuring hardware, software and services. The solutions are delivered in PPP model. Public Private Partnership models for managed services enables government to concentrate on core-mission critical value-adding activities while moving the technology-related requirements to Private Partners.

Performance Indicators
The Economist Intelligence Units annual e-readiness ranks India at 54 out of the Worlds 69 largest economies along with the Philippines. The NASSCOM report on Information Technology on the Economy of India highlights that, despite India's global IT dominance, internally, the country has a low level of IT investment - only 3.5 per cent of total capital and minimal dispersal of IT capital of 30 countries evaluated. The World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Information Technology Report ranks India at 44 (out of a total of 122 countries). The WEFs Global Competitiveness Report also ranks India at 45 out of a total of 122 countries. The World Banks Doing Business report data positions India at 120 (out of 178 economies) in the overall Ease of Doing Business" ranking.

Government Business models

Government applications for IT innovations can be broadly classified into following 3 categories
G2C (Government to Citizen) Example: Bhoomi, Drishtee etc. G2B (Government to Business) Example: eProcurement G2G (Government to Government) Example: Khajane

Projects Undertaken by Government of India

UIDAI
UID project is known as AADHAAR meaning 'support', and its logo is a yellow sun with a fingerprint embedded in its centre. One estimate of the cost to completely roll-out National IDs to all Indian residents above the age of 18 has been placed at 150,000 crore. UID has received a huge boost with Dr Pranab Mukherjee allocating Rs 1900 crore to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for 2010-11. MindTree outbidded other software companies in getting one of the component of project which involved developing an application, which will capture and manage data from different sources including biometric details.
