The workshop is organised by DeitY, along with NASSCOM. This consultative meet is part of the 50 workshops being organised in all States and Union Territories (UTs) to amplify the mission and message of the NeGP – "Public Services Closer Home".

With many states in various stages of rolling out public services on the e-Government platform, the NeGP Apex Committee decided to create awareness about NeGP initiatives among  stakeholders, discuss challenges in delivery of e-Services, identify State-specific issues and understand emerging technologies from the industry.

The string of workshops will cover all State Capitals, UTs and some important cities. The first workshop was hosted in National Capital Territory of Delhi in July 2011 and the workshop in Thiruvananthapuram is the 22nd in the series.

The Thiruvananthapuram 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.

NeGP, a key component of the Government's "inclusive growth" strategy, was approved by the Cabinet in May 2006. It aims to deliver public services to the common man in his locality to make them both accessible and affordable.
