Policy on Open Standards for e-Governance* *Preamble* Government of India (GoI) aims to make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality and ensure efficiency, transparency & reliability of such services at affordable costs; in addition to this, GoI endeavours to provide services to all other stakeholders like public agencies and their employees and business communities. To meet this objective, there is a need to cooperate, collaborate and integrate information across different departments. Government systems characterized by islands of legacy systems using heterogeneous platforms and technologies and spread across diverse geographical locations, in varying state of automation, make this task very challenging. There is a need to identify Open Standards for the consistent, standardized and reliable implementation of e-Governance solutions which meet laid down objectives of the Policy. While selecting Open Standards due consideration will be given to functional and technical requirements and maturity of the standard. The “Policy on Open Standards for e-Governance” (here after referred to as “Policy”) provides a set of guidelines for identifying such Open Standards.
