PROJECTS

6) National e-Governance Services Delivery Gateway (NSDG) http://www.nsdg.gov.in

The NSDG is one of the 27 Mission Mode Projects(MMPs) under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) of Government of India (GoI) under Department of Information Technology, Ministry of IT and communications. The NSDG facilitate standards-based interoperability and integration services to the existing and new e-governance applications.

NSDG as a messaging middleware achieves integration amongst diverse set of applications built on varying platforms through compliance with a set of e-Governance Standards [Interoperability Interface Protocol and Specifications (IIP/IIS)] that enable consistent communication and conformance to international standards such as the XML specifications and SOAP. The messaging infrastructure takes full advantage of the eXtended Markup Language (XML) and the SOAP specifications to achieve the desired intercommunication capability. This middleware routes service requests from a Service Seeker (Service Access Provider) to a Service Provider (typically a back end department that puts up its service for electronic delivery) and in return sends the response back to the Service Seeker through the Gateway, all in an asynchronous manner.

This project is the winner of "The World is Open Award" for its solution based on the open source technologies. This award was organized by the Red and Hat and the Skoch Consultancy.

5) State e-Governance Services Delivery Gateway (SSDG)

The SSDG is very similar gateway as compared to NSDG. But it is meant to integrate the state government departments with state portals. Department of Information Technology, Ministry of IT and communications, Government of India (GoI) is sponsering the project and C-DAC Mumbai is the implementation agency. Apart from the C-DAC Mumbai, other C-DAC's center is supposed to be involved with integration related work.

Like NSDG it also facilitate standards-based interoperability and integration services to the existing and new e-governance applications. And it is a messaging middleware which achieves integration amongst diverse set of applications built on varying platforms through compliance with a set of e-Governance Standards [Interoperability Interface Protocol and Specifications (IIP/IIS)] that enable consistent communication and conformance to international standards such as the XML specifications and SOAP. The messaging infrastructure takes full advantage of the eXtended Markup Language (XML) and the SOAP specifications to achieve the desired intercommunication capability. This middleware routes service requests from a Service Seeker (Service Access Provider) to a Service Provider (typically a back end department that puts up its service for electronic delivery) and in return sends the response back to the Service Seeker through the Gateway, all in an asynchronous manner.

Roles, Responsibilities and Activities in this Project:

1. Exploring the possibilities of fitting the SSDG in the Mulitplier Grant Scheme of the government of India.
   
2. Preparing proposal to be submitted to the Department of IT, Government if India for SSDG for State IT Departments. It also includes the proposed solution and the cost estimates for the project.
3. Analysing how to fit the land record and registration system applications.
4. Common Services which includes Payment Gateway, Authentication, Workflow Definition Engine etc.
