Nandan Nilekani-led Technology Advisory Group for Unique Projects (TAGUP) on Friday submitted its report to finance minister Pranab Mukherjee suggesting systematic change in the way key projects are incubated and executed.

The report has mooted the idea of a "mission leader" for every project and a dedicated mission execution team.

"Strong support from the top leadership within government, dedicated team at the level of project implementation and ownership and commitment at various operational levels are necessary concomitants of success of any project," it said.

The mission execution team, the report explained, should be manned by personnel who possess a diverse set of skills including intimate familiarity with the government processes, specialization in verticals such as technology, outreach, law, as well as the ability to manage a large decentralized organization, among others. The six-member TAGUP was constituted by Mukherjee last year. Former Sebi chairman CB Bhave, IT secretary R Chandrasekhar and former PFRDA chairman D Swarup are among its members. The report also suggests on protecting the right to privacy. Coming at a time when the Supreme Court is closely scrutinizing the issue of phone-tapping of corporates, the group has sought a right balance between individual's right to privacy and larger public interest.

It says while personal information relating to the individual must be strictly protected from unauthorized access, there may be a need for government agencies to access or share this data for purposes of national security, economic offenses, tax evasion and other specified circumstances. It has called for detailed processes, systems and guidelines to be put in place to ensure that authorised access and sharing is within the parameters set by law.

The group recommended that for complex IT intensive projects (especially for those referred to in the terms of reference and generally to IT mission critical projects in government) National Information Utilities (NIUs) working in the spirit of partnership with government be formed to handle all aspects of IT systems. While strategic control is retained by government at all times, NIUs should be set up as private companies with a public purpose, it added. They should be financially independent and empowered to take quick and efficient business decisions pertaining to attracting and retaining talent, procurement and rapid response to business exigencies.
