Elaborating on the awards this year, Prof. Harish Iyer, Convener of the Awards 2012-13, said, “The eleventh anniversary of the CSI-Nihilent e-Governance awards is special not only because it marks the beginning of a new decade, but also because it has brought with it several new measures aimed at the spread of knowledge. The release of CSI's special interest group on e-Governance's publications in the form of a CD is but one example of the new initiatives. The year is also special because it saw one of the highest numbers of nominations from all corners of the country. It is our privilege to thank all the participants and to offer our congratulations to those who made it to the final awards list”.

As we stride into the second decade of the initiative, we are confident that we’ll see more and more projects and states planting what we’d like to call , the ‘seeds of eGovernance revolution’. Our heartiest congratulations to all the finalists for this year’s awards”.
