INDIA: E-Readiness Assessment Report 2005 - For States/Union Territories

For the first time, output and employment multipliers of the key states in India for the software, hardware and ICT composite segments have been calculated to assess the catalytic effect of ICT on economic development in these states. The second unique feature of this report is the comparative analysis of the e-readiness status of Indian states over a three-year period (2003 to 2005). This helps us not only to evaluate but also to monitor state performance. These rankings help us to understand whether states have adopted strategies/action plans to improve their network readiness index. The report also brings out the key factors that states should address to tune up their e-readiness rankings.
