Some claim that government sources have said “NIC is said to be unable to scale up”, though the fact is that some vested interests want to curtail role of NIC in Indian IT arena and Rajeev Chawla, Additional Chief Secretary (e-Governance), was quoted as saying “CSG will be an analogue to NIC”.[12]Infrastructure[edit]National Informatics Centre Services include:[citation needed]Government Local Area Networks (LANs)Video ConferencingNational Knowledge Network (NKN)Email & MessagingRemote Sensing & GISWebcastDomain RegistrationNational CloudCommand and ControlNICNETData CentreSecurityBlock Chain TechnologyNIC’s Network, “NICNET”, facilitates the institutional linkages with the Ministries\/Departments of the Central Government, state Governments and District administrations of India.[citation needed] NIC is noted for being the primary constructor of e-Government applications.[14] It also manages the National Knowledge Network.Data Centers and Offices[edit]In 2018, NIC opened its fourth data center in Bhubaneshwar to complement its existing data centers in New Delhi, Hyderabad and Pune.[3] In addition to the national data centres ,NIC has State Centres in 36 states and Union territories.[15][7] This is supplemented by 708 district offices.[7]National Portal of India[edit]NIC maintains the National Portal of India.
