The government plans to spend a whopping Rs 10,000 crore, or 3% of its annual Plan budget, on e-governance projects in 2010-11. This would be more than three times the outlay for such projects in the current financial year. Stepping up expenditure on e-governance-a major focus area for the government-would prove a bonanza for IT companies that vie for large government contracts. Speaking on the sidelines of a Nasscom summit here, IT secretary R Chandrashekhar said e-governance projects under social sector programmes would be much bigger in the coming year, and this would take total expenditure on them to 2-3% of the Plan budget. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and various education and health projects have major e-governance components. Chandrashekhar said the government would focus on ensuring that budgetary allocations actually translate into services received by intended beneficiaries. "Now that some headway has been made in the services and the delivery platfor...

Britain is to tighten the rules on immigrants entering Britain on a student visa, the government said on Sunday in a clampdown on a system which some security experts say has been exploited by Islamist militants. Home Secretary (interior minister) Alan Johnson said the crackdown was part of a wider campaign against immigrants who apply for student visas even though they intend to work. The tighter controls could also help to tackle security concerns over militants who enter Britain ostensibly to study. Analysts have warned for years of a threat from Islamist militants based at British universities, including foreigners on student visas. A senior Pakistani official in London accused the British government last year of failing to co-operate with the security screening of Pakistani nationals trying to study in Britain. The issue climbed back up the political agenda last month when it emerged that the Nigerian man accused of plotting to blow up a passenger plane over Detroit tried to ...
