Abstract: Abstract The Government of India has recognized that the impressive growth the country has achieved since the mid-1980s in Information Technology (IT) is still a small proportion of the potential to achieve. Accordingly, it has resolved to make India a Global IT Superpower and a front-runner in the age of the Information Revolution. It considers IT as an agent of transformation of every facet of human life, which will bring about knowledge based society in the twenty-first century. This paper focuses on policies and procedures for removing bottlenecks and achieving a pre-eminent status for India in the area of IT.
