The Government of Pakistan is taking several steps to put Pakistan on the Information Technology super highway by introducing information technology at all levels in Public sector. E-Government is one of the major initiatives under the present IT Policy and Action Plan. To pursue this initiative, the Government needs to equip its work force with the tools of I.T. The mandate of Pakistan Computer Bureau is to work in the area of E-Government, undertake training of Government Officers and Staff, help in the development, operations and maintenance of IT system in Government Departments, evaluation of feasibility studies and provide consultation on IT related issues. The PCB is performing E-Government activities since 1971 and its major thrust has been in the said area. However, the extent to which computers are effectively employed in different Departments depends on the proper training of officers and staff.
