The government has taken a move to prepare a new national ICT policy by amending the National ICT Policy 2015 to make it time befitting due to the emergence of 5G technology and fourth industrial revolution.
A draft of the proposed ‘The National ICT Policy 2018’ has already been prepared by the ICT Division keeping a provision to implement eight strategic issues including digital government, digital security, social equity and universal access to education, research and innovation, skill development and employment generation, strengthening domestic capacity to cope with the change of emerging technologies, said a media release.
The proposed ICT policy is aimed to bring a structural change in the existing National ICT Policy 2015 incorporating a 48-action plan in a separate annexure.
