• NIC provides infrastructure to help support delivery of Government IT services and delivery of some of the initiatives of Digital India
• From May 2019 the Government of India has set up the "Centre for Smart Governance" (CSG) and state governments have been suggested to go through CSG for IT projects they would previously have used NIC and private firms for.
