The Indian Government has been amongst the frontrunners when it comes to initiatives towards adoption of best practices and integrated delivery of information and services to achieve ICT led development in the country.

Raja, Hon'ble Minister of Communications & Information Technology, gave away the Awards in the presence of Shri Sachin Pilot, Hon'ble Minister of State for Communications & Information Technology.

Publications: The Publications Division publishes a host of books every month. Its main aim is to get books covering a large variety available to everyone at an affordable price. This month's publication includes:
Indian Folk Tales: This book by Mulk Raj Anand consists of eight delectable stories, forming part of Indian folk tales and journeying through many a generation. These have been handed down to us by our imaginative Indian storytellers with their gods, heroes, demons, witches, fairies, birds, beasts and flowers in our folk literature. The author has presented these stories in his unique style. Though meant for children, the tales entertain and educate everyone.
Bhagat Singh : Amar Vidrohi (Punjabi): The place of Bhagat Singh is unique in the annals of our freedom struggle Born in a family of patriots and revolutionaries he and his venerable comrades grew in an atmosphere surcharged with nationalistic and revolutionary fervour. Throughout the short span of his sparkling life, he pursued his fight against the British rule and also against all forms of exploitation. Finally, he and his brave compatriots kissed the gallows with the dreams of Inquilab - the stage of total transformation to a just and humane society.
