An Evolving Era of Information Technology

Information Technology is a kind of technology which is very diverse in nature as the use of Information Technology has increased drastically and the technology has covered a large area under it in almost every sector.

Not only in the industry, but the government has also realized the importance of Information Technology, and is using the Information Technology magnificently in the proper functioning of the government. Recently, the Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi has given a slogan that describes the use of Information Technology in building the future India. He had given the slogan 'IT plus IT is equal to IT' (Information Technology plus Indian Talent is equal to India Tomorrow).

Information Technology in Governance:

The motto by the Prime Minister was given during the launch of the Integrated Case Management Information System (ICMIS) of the Supreme Court of India. The functioning of ICMIS involves e-filing cases, case status, office reports, checking listing dates, online service of summons/notice and overall tracking of the case filed with the court's registry. The induction of Information Technology in the governing process of the courts will speed up the process of Justice delivery.

Similarly, the government had launched the Digital India Mission in the year 2015 with a vision to transform India into digitally empowered society. Information Technology had played a vital role in executing the Digital India Mission. Using Information Technology, the government can provide facilities to the public like fast internet connectivity in remote areas, e-marketplace, Digilocker to save documents online, e-hospitals, Digidhan for cashless transactions, various online apps to directly connect with the government and to get facilities in case of any contingency. The use of Information Technology has made it easy for the general public to acknowledge their grievances in a speedy manner.

The Scope of Information Technology for IT Graduates:

As we have seen that India at present is not just an IT service hub in the private sector, but also the tenders have been given to the companies and opportunities are getting created in the government sector also. There is an apprehension among the young minds that with the change in policies of the United States, the IT sector will come down in India and there will be the recession in the IT market. Yes, may be for some time the IT industry may react in a negative manner, but it is just a phase of time and looking through an opportunistic angle, this is the right time to evolve the Indian IT market and make it indigenous and self-dependent. Many new startups are moving in a right direction to realize this objective, and in the coming time, the local startups will vigorously compete not just in the Indian IT market but at the global platform.

Within a month or two all the major engineering entrance exams will get over, and the students will be searching out for selecting a good stream to make a career in that line. The techno-savvy have a splendid option to choose Information Technology as a career line. There is a need for good students in the field of Information Technology that can contribute to the growth of IT market in the coming time.
