About Standards

Governments across the world aim to make all public services easily accessible thus ensuring efficiency, transparency & reliability at affordable costs. In order to achieve this goal, cooperation, collaboration and integration of information across different departments and organisations is critical. Government systems across the world, however, operate in silos. Interoperability (interlinking of information, IT systems, applications and processes) remains a challenge with government departments, internal administration, enterprises as well as the public.

India has a federal government structure. There is uneven adoption of various municipal governance platforms and solutions in different states and ULBs at different levels of maturity. This necessitates integration of technologies and data to transform the public administrations and also to facilitate information flow and encourage data use among different governmental departments, agencies, citizens and businesses.

These standards act as guidelines for the state and city administration, industry, academia and civil society organisations to tackle issues ranging from interoperability, integration, data exchange, among others.
