improvements on account of its e-Governance initiatives are impressive in
several areas. The state has witnessed moderate improvements in delivery of

Andhra Pradesh has been one of the earliest states to begin
the process of IT-enabling its government departments. AP's 3rd ICT Policy
(2005-2010) aspires to transform the state into a knowledge society; make
available the benefits of IT to all citizens, especially those in rural areas
and living in poverty and become a leading destination for investments in ICT.
The Jawahar Knowledge Centres for soft skill and personality development of
engineers is another feather to its cap. CARD (Computer Aided Administration of
Registration Department), an online document registration has simplified the
process of registration.
