The project aims to deliver public services to the common man in his locality to make them both accessible and affordable.

The string of workshops will cover all state capitals, UTs and some important cities, he said.

The first such workshop was hosted in Delhi in July 2011 and the workshop in Port Blair is the 21st in the series.

The Port Blair workshop will be attended by key stakeholders of the NeGP, who will be drawn from Central and State Governments, e-Governance consultants, technology partners and implementing agencies.

During the day-long workshop, the Andaman and Nicobar Government will showcase e-Governance solutions implemented under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP).

The workshop is being organised by Department of Electronics and Information Technology and A&N Administration in partnership with NASSCOM.
