Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one of the core strengths of India. However, many aspects of ICT are still not within the competence of India. India is performing poorly in many areas of ICT and there is an urgent need of establishing transparency and accountability within the governmental departments so that India can perform better. India must also pay attention towards protection of "Human Rights in Cyberspace". Perry4Law and PTLBTM/SM have been providing ICT Trends In India, Cyber Law Trends in India, Cyber Security Trends in India, Cyber Forensics Trends in India, etc for long. This is the current ICT Trends of India 2009 by Perry4Law.The present trends report is covering topics like Cyber law of India, Cyber Terrorism, E-Courts in India, E-Learning in India, Unique Identification Project of India, Serious Frauds and White Collar Crimes, National Security Issues, Crime Reporting by Media, Internet Banking Frauds, Cyber Security of Defense Forces, Cyber War in India, E-Surveillance in India, etc.
The report has clearly established that India once again failed to cater the growing contemporary demands of ICT and their legal, judicial and public service providing applications. The predominant reason for the same seems to be lack of political will to achieve the needful. Though India makes lot of declarations yet hardly one or two is actually implemented. India is more interested in accomplishments that can be found on papers only rather than real, effective and grassroot level achievements.
The report concludes that “Indian efforts for streamlining use of ICT have further degraded from 2008. The year 2009 saw some major ICT pitfalls and bad decisions were made by the GOI. Overall the year 2009 can be said to be “Blunder ICT Year” of India despite all contrary governmental claims.
