Yes we want ITS This is in reference to the article ‘Say Yes to ITS’ (July 2010). I agree to the point raised in the write-up on the need for having a more holistic and integrated approach towards planning and management of transport and traffic system in the cities. Ultimately, a department like Urban Development should oversee the tasks, which is now being looked after by the cops. Padmalakshmi Hyderabad
Government at citizens doorsteps The article ‘Made for Local Governance’ (July 2010) updated me on automation efforts of government administration district level downward to reach the citizens faster and achieve transparent governance. It is heartening to know that now we can expect efficiency and better administration in the district,
which ultimately has an impact on common rural people, making their lives easy with better access to government services. Swati, Noida
Paperless departments, hurray! This is in reference to the DMS story ‘Turbo Charging Digital Governments’ (July 2010). Though the use of DMS in the Indian market is still in the nascent stage, the story has very nicely explained the use of DMS in the various domains of egovernance, healthcare and education. I agree on the point that the Indian government should focus on having ‘less paper’ departments to make the robust and effective use of DMS in the government sector. Karan Khanna New Delhi

eINDIA Does it Again! It was a great experience to meet thought leaders and interact with other delegates at the eINDIA conference. I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks to the organisers. Congratulations on the grand success of the event. Nagarajan M, IAS
The event was well organised and well structured. I would like to thank each one of you associated with this event for providing us the opportunity to meet up with honchos of the industry and the govern-
ment departments. Praveen Kumar Programme Manager, Indmax
Congratulations to Elets and CSDMS team for consistently organising the eINDIA 2010. I have been regularly attending the eINDIA sessions since 2002 and have found it to be the best knowledge conference and a must annual recharging event. Great job guys! As, I have already shared earlier during my interaction with eGov and Elets team,
such ‘Satellite Events’ are very important as a follow up to national events. Mukesh Hajela CEO & Vice Chairman, Network for Information & Computer Technology
Thank you for organising a wonderful event and providing practioners an opportunity to present their projects. It was a great learning and networking experience. Yogesh Kale GIS Specialist, CHF International
