Nominee statement
I have more than a decade of experience in Information Communication Technology (ICT) domain, especially in the areas of network, security, internet and e-governance. I have played a key role in fostering the internet penetration and adoption across India, through the National Knowledge Network (NKN), a pan-India gigabit information highway which was rolled out in 2010. NKN heralded an ICT revolution in India by delivering gigabit level bandwidth in every nook and corner of India, connecting over 1600+ education and research institutes.
I do believe in an equitable access and distribution of resources both from an Information resource and from a physical resource perspective. With the kind of experience and expertise, which I have gained over a decade of my involvement in ICT, especially networking and internet, I believe that I can add more value to the NRO NC community and can help in representing novel ideas, innovations and improve engagements with the NRO NC Members, which could ultimately contribute to the overall betterment of the NRO NC community.
