session of training  AICC is a QUICK WIN initiative of Access to Information
(A2I) Programme at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), funded by the UNDP.
The quick win initiative idea has come from the `e-Governance Services'
workshop at the PMO organized by A2I in the May-June 2008. All Secretaries
were present in those workshop and they identified one e-service for their
own ministry which they plan to ensure through ICT. AICC was the quick win
idea of MoA.
