Prithvi Information Solutions (PISL), an e-Governance infrastructure provider, has won an order worth Rs.12.5 crore from the Government of Haryana to develop its Haryana State Data Centre (SDC). PISL was chosen over a host of other bidders like TCS, Wipro, HCL, Reliance, SPANCO and Sify. This order marks the second in line for SDC development with Nagaland SDC being the first in the previous quarter.
"We are confident of achieving our targets in time and become the largest player in the SDC segments. We are also targeting at eight more SDCs from various states across India," said Ambika Mohapatra, AVP, PISL.
The SDC programme is part of a larger initiative of the National eGovernance Plan (NeGP) of the Central government to create infrastructure and platforms to support the various e-Governance initiatives to be rolled out by the Centre and State Governments. This Plan details the command centre, datacenter infrastructure, network infrastructure and common service centres, required to create the e-governance ecosystem in the country.
The Haryana SDC will provide single window for accessing the services provided by the State Government proving to be a key infrastructure to house the data from various state departments under one roof. PISL expects to start the work on Haryana SDC in four to six weeks.
