NASSCOM Chairman’s Wishlist for the IT Ministry February 13, 2008
Lakshmi Narayanan, Chairman of NASSCOM and A.Raja, Minister for IT and Telecommunications shared the dais at the inaugural session of the Leadership Summit. Lakshmi used the opportunity to request the Government to act on few areas that will be a great boost to the Indian industry.
Lakshmi requested the Government to focus more on e-governance projects. When government invests in more e-gov projects, it will infuse direct revenues into the industry while also greatly increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the process. This will majorly be a boost for small and medium scale enterprises.
Lakshmi requested the Government to continue its on establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in 2 tier and 3 tier cities in India. This will not only encourage bigger companies to reach out to the smaller towns, it will also result in direct employment opportunities for the workforce there.
He also added that the industry has also its share of promises to fulfill. Currently, most of the industry relies on hiring experienced talent and not many take the effort to invest in training. While there are large number of students who graduate every year, they aren’t up-to the mark in terms of employability and talent. It is the industry onus to ensure that this gap is filled and help in creating industry relevant curriculum. In long term, it will greatly benefit the industry, said Lakshmi.
