The State-level e-governance projects spanning land records, property registration, agriculture and municipalities are expected to get a massive thrust, with a whopping 50-75 per cent of the World Bank's proposed $500-million assistance for the National e-Governance Plan (NEGP) likely to flow into these initiatives. According to senior officials in the Department of Information Technology, a bulk of the amount is likely to be channelised into the State-level e-governance projects as well as 10 functional components entailing core projects, integrated projects, core infrastructure, assessment and awareness, technical assistance and research and development, amongst others.
