Government working on 'email' policy

Thiruvananthapuram: All central government employees will soon be expected to communicate through the National Informatics Centre (NIC) email ID, a union minister said Monday adding that the government was chalking out a plan in this regard.

Minister of State for Communications Milind Deora told reporters here that his department is working on a new email policy which will address this issue, among others. 'Once this is ready, then all government officials will have to communicate only through NIC email id,' he said. 'After this, the issue of cyber security can be addressed on a single platform as NIC is taking care of e-governance programmes of the Centre,' said Deora
