P. Lakshmikumari, Dr. M. Devarajulu

Abstract :

This paper ings out the role of Indian state as an actor in responding to the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) policy with special reference to the two task force reports highlighted in for carrying out this study. Response is here understood as the ‘role’ played by the Indian state towards putting policy statements into practice. It is strongly believed that ICT will propel India into the league of developed nations. The literature review particularly on technological determinism and social shaping of technology gives an important perspective to explore the objectives of the study. The aim focus of this study is on the responses of different stakeholders especially the state with respect to the ICT policies and discourse. This will reveal developmental concern for the overall built environment especially in education, health, energy and transportation systems sectors, but the structure and orientation of ICT policy initiatives, in a large measure, are directed towards market-oriented demands of globalisation.
