Nearly half a century since it came into existence, the government is now looking to revamp and restructure the National Informatics Centre (NIC) – its the technology arm – to help the organisation keep pace with the growing need for digital technologies in the country.
The government has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for selection of a consultant for NIC’s organisational restructuring.
The NIC comes under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and it was established in 1976 with the objective to provide technology-driven solutions to the Central and State Governments. It is mandated to design and develop IT Systems for the government and provide ICT Infrastructure to the government. It also works as an advisory unit for the government over the adoption of the latest technology and ensure cyber resilience.
