infrastructure, enable interoperability through standards, etc.;

government approach towards digitizing of government services (Inter-Ministerial
Digital Transformation Committee);

implementation of e-Government;
• Development of an e-Government Central Portal;

Committee shall formulate plans for the required e-Government infrastructure and
the delivery of e-Services to realize an inter-operable government;
