NIC District Centre, Kathua


The NIC, District Centre, Kathua became operational in 1989. In 1996, NIC Office Kathua was shifted in present independent building. In order to exploit and explore the vast opportunities offered by Information Technology aimed at improving and accelerating the planning process and implementation of socio-economic programmes, it was necessary to create mass awareness among officials of District Administration and other departments in the District. To achieve the purpose and to do the ground work, a series of training and awareness programmes were conducted. The trend of computers usage in the District showed a tremendous increase and various areas of District Administration were brought under computerization. By now almost all major departments of State Govt as well as Central Govt of District Kathua are computerized.
