Scientometric Profile of Dr. N. Seshagiri, Founder Director General NIC

Special Issue of Monthly Bulletin of NIC Library Number 31 May 2015

“My aim is to get computerization in the

country at all levels” - Dr N Seshagiri

I. Dr N. Seshagiri : A Life in the Service of Science

Dr N. Seshagiri, Founder Director General of National Informatics Centre and former Special Secretary to Government of India, brilliant pioneer of growth of India’s IT Industry, was born on 10th May 1940. He was awarded a Ph.D at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in Microwave Telecommunication Engineering. Subsequently in 1966 he moved to TIFR and worked on satellite communications and space-craft design. He was awarded the prestigious

"Vikram Sarabhai” award for ‘optimal design simulation of low energy consumption space-craft design’.

Prof. MGK Menon was then Director of TIFR and saw immense intellectual potential in Dr. Seshagiri. Prof. Menon encouraged him to assist in setting-up of the Electronics Commission at Central Government level in Delhi. This involved evolving policy and planning for introducing information technology in order to improve the quality of life of the masses. Dr. Seshagiri's vision led to the successful preparation of the first document on Perspective Plan for growth of electronics industry in India. As a follow up of the acceptance of this report at the Cabinet level, the Central Government approved the setting up of a National Data Centre at School of Life Sciences & Automation at J.N.U, New Delhi. This data centre was envisaged to serve as a national level repository of information, pertaining to various analytical reports, for industrial growth, in thrust areas, for the evolution of licensing policy, focused on indigenous growth of electronics production and promotion of R&D, enabling transfer of technology from laboratories to the field.

Recognising Dr. Seshagiri’s ability for hard-work coupled with his innovative and original thinking, Prof MGK Menon facilitated the carving out of a National Data Centre for Electronics, outside JNU, and set it up as separate entity under Dr.

Seshagiri. It was entitled IPAG or Information Planning Analysis Group. This new setup offered tremendous path-breaking policy initiatives governing industrial promotion, boosting indigenization efforts by encouraging R&D for reduction of Imports and savings in Foreign Exchange.

Towards the latter half of 1976, bearing in mind the importance of the availability of right information at the right place at the right time, the Electronics Commission decided to retain policy framing & its implementation related work with Department of Electronics. The Electronics Commission decided to provide special impetus to the Informatics led improvements in the decision making process of various Government Departments/Ministries. This initiative was exclusively directed to usher-in operational excellence of governance both at Central as well as State levels. This led to the birth of National Informatics Centre and Dr. Seshagiri was entrusted with independent responsibility of its first Executive Director.

As the architect of the nationwide computer network (NICNET), Dr Seshagiri drafted the software and hardware policies that revolutionised information technology (IT) in the country. He was instrumental in setting up the DISNIC Programme in the country to usher in the ICT revolution in 520+districts in 1987. In 1998, under the Chairmanship of Prof. MGK Menon, he was the Member-Convenor of the prestigious National Task Force on IT which drafted the national IT policy with 108 recommendations to ‘’transform India into a global software power by 2008’. He was instrumental in the setting up of the software technology parks of India, which led to the emergence of Indian IT bellwethers such as Infosys and Wipro in Bangalore three decades ago. He strived hard to get the US-based global chip maker Texas Instruments to open its offshore development centre in Bangalore, with his 'flood-in and flood-out software policy'. Dr. Seshagiri not only shaped computerization policies but

brought to reality the software exports and systems manufacturing industry in India.

Dr Seshagiri was a great visionary and was always ahead of his time. He laid great importance on inducting ICT in governance across the country. What we see as E-Governance today is the outcome of the vision and hard work put in by Dr Seshagiri through the decades of 80s and 90s. During his 25-year leadership of NIC, he groomed a generation of scientists, engineers and technocrats to provide leadership in E-Governance across the country.

Dr Seshagiri was instrumental in establishing and grooming a number of Institutions. Some of these leading institutions include establishment of ITI- Equatorial Systems Limited for indigenous manufacture of VSATs in India, CDAC, NCTI AND NICSI. He authored over 20 books and more than 100 research papers.

Recognizing his massive and unique contributions, he was awarded Padma Bhushan, Vikram Sarabhai award, O P Bhasin award, Asiad Jyoti award, Karnataka Rajya-Utsav Jyoti award, to name a few.

He took Voluntary Retirement from government service in February 2000.

Subsequently he served as Professor Emeritus at IISc- Bangalore and offered technical consultancy in frontier areas of IT.

II. Dr. N. Seshagiri as a Research Scholar ahead of his time

1.

Towards the latter half of 1976, bearing in mind the importance of the availability of right information at the right place at the right time, the Electronics Commission decided to retain policy framing & its implementation related work with Department of Electronics. The Electronics Commission decided to provide special impetus to the Informatics led improvements in the decision making process of various Government Departments/Ministries. This initiative was exclusively directed to usher-in operational excellence of governance both at Central as well as State levels. This led to the birth of National Informatics Centre and Dr. Seshagiri was entrusted with independent responsibility of its first Executive Director

2. Dr. N Seshagiri, Founder, NIC- A Doyen of Indian IT Departs, 30-May- 2013, Dataquest.

He was perhaps the pioneering architect of government IT in India.

Narasimaiah Seshagiri – the visionary with a non-corporate background – is lost to the world. His pioneering effort has left behind a lasting footprint on India’s IT scene, for he can clearly be credited with the creation of the country’s first-ever government policy on computers. He was the resilient activist who evangelized and implemented the national computer policy and the nation’s first VSAT (NICNET), in the face of hard opposition from the government and public.

3. Interview with Priya Ganapati, Dr Seshagiri talks about why he had to resign, March 13 2000, Rediff.com

Dr N Seshagiri, former director general, National Informatics Centre has always maintained a low profile. But he managed to make the news recently for his role as the member -convenor of the high profile IT taskforce set up by the prime minister, Seshagiri is better known as the force behind NICNET, a satellite-based nationwide computer communication network with 1,400 nodes connecting state capitals and district headquarters.

Seshagiri, who set up NIC nearly 25 years ago, quit his job on January 31, 2000, just four months before his due date for retirement. He says he took the step to ensure a technical person headed NIC instead of the usual IAS bureaucrat.

4. N.Seshagiri was true architect of India's early IT success story, 29 May 2013, India Tech Online.

Bangalore May 29, 2013 The Indian print media -- with very few exceptions --has barely noted the passing three days ago of Narasimaiah Seshagiri, arguably, the true father of the Indian IT story, a scientist who fortuitously ended up as a bureaucrat at a critical time in the nation’s technological time line . During the 1980s, his presence in the Electronics Commission and the new entity he created – the National Informatics Centre –ensured that national policies for electronics and infotech were framed with foresight and sensitivity, using regulation to encourage rather than stymie enterprise, private or public.

A product of the Indian Institute of Science and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Dr Seshagiri, had a long – 25 year stint heading the NIC – and used the clout this gave him to push government into initiatives like the country’s first nationwide satellite-based date network – NICNET – as well as liberal hardware and software policies of the mid 1980s. The push to computerization in government can legitimately be attributed to Seshagiri’s evangelical zeal.

6. Tribute to a Great Visionary: Dr. N. Seshagiri (1940 to 2013), July 2013, Informatics.

Dr. N. Seshagiri, founder and the former Director General of National Informatics Centre, left for heavenly abode on Sunday the 26th of May 2013. Dr. Seshagiri was blessed with immense intellectual potential and high technical quotient. As the mastermind of the Nationwide Computer Network (NICNET), Dr.Seshagiri drafted various software and hardware policies that revolutionized Information Technology (IT) in the country. He was instrumental in setting up of the Software Technology Parks in India and was also the crusader of e- Governance movement in the country.

Today, the founding father of NIC may not be with us, but his inspiring ideas will continue to guide us and the generations to come.

7. Sad demise of Padmabhushan Dr. N. Seshagiri former DG (NIC) and Pormoter of Libraries, P K Upadhyay, NIC, Delhi.

It is deeply regretted to inform the sad demise of Padmabhushan Dr. N. Seshagiri (10.05.1940 – 26-05.2013) aged 73 years, founder Director General of National Informatics Centre and great promoter of Libraries on Sunday, 26th May 2013 after a brief illness.

The cremation will be held at 2pm on Wednesday, 29th May 2013 at the Banashankari crematorium, Bangalore.

8. Tributes to the IT Legend, Dr. N Seshagiri (1940-2013), TRUE VISIONARY OF THE INDIAN IT, Nagapatinum District.

In the early 1990s, Prof. E. Balaguruswamy, most recently Vice Chancellor of Anna University, used to organise annually, the very popular Indian Computer Congress (ICC) in Hyderabad. One of his strongest supporters was Dr N. Seshagiri, then Director General of the National Informatics Centre (NIC) in Delhi, who made it a point to come down to the Andhra capital every year and deliver a scintillating opening keynote. One year he couldn’t make it – and thanks to NICNET, the nationwide data network he had helped establishes – his speech was beamed into the conference by teleconference link. But Seshagiri, being the person he was, even this fairly common solution, became an off beat experience for viewers. When the video link came live, there, was the head of NIC, unrecognizable under a huge headset, ensconced in the control station of a Virtual Reality lab, he had just set up

next to his office. The timing was interesting: VR had become a mainstream in the West and Japan, just weeks ago and Dr Seshagiri was characteristically combining his video keynote with a deeper message: India was up there with the pioneers, already exploring the promise and potential of Virtual Reality. For many of us in that darkened conference hall in Hyderabad, it was our first close look at VR – and Dr Seshagiri’s child-like enthusiasm for what this technology could do for India, was infectious and motivating. Narasimaiah Seshagiri passed away on May 26 2013, at the age of 73, leaving behind his wife, son, daughter and two grand children.

Arguably, the true father of the Indian IT story, Dr Seshagiri was a scientist who fortuitously ended up as a bureaucrat at a critical time in the nation’s technological time line.

III. What scholars say about Dr. N. Seshagiri

1. Lalit Sawhney, Former Vice President IFIP: Dr. Seshagiri was a pioneer, a fighter, passionate about his beliefs and had a missionary zeal. He could visualise how IT and communications could help bureaucracy, Tributes governance, speed up decision making and project delivery...and what is most important, sell these new ideas to his senior colleagues in govt. and the political masters, years before IT became fashionable. He had the bandwidth to realise the enormous range of possibilities that Electronics, IT - hardware, software applications and infrastructure, and Communications could off er to promote good governance. While he may have passed away, his policies, the institutions and infrastructure he created will live forever.

2. Prof. S Sadagopan, Director, International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore writes: Dr. Seshagiri was truly a visionary, a man of conviction who had the boldness to go against popular thinking. But for his "flood in, flood out" theory, India would have missed the mini / PC / LAN revolution as well! (Let alone the mainframe!) and today's 100 billion dollar industry would not have become a reality. He was the "right man, in the right place at the right time" Not many people might know that the concept of IIIT was originally conceived by Dr N Seshagiri, though in late 80's / early 90's it never took off . I had the fortune of having him in my office for nearly a day, just a few months back when Anand Parthasarathy and I interviewed him for our forthcoming book "Icons of Indian IT".

He was at his best and the interview was like "drinking from a firehouse". Alas, he will not be around when our book would see the light of the day! IIITB is also fortunate in having him as one of the key members of the UGC Review Committee that gave us the status of Deemed University in 2004

3. Dr Srinivasan Ramani, Former Director National Centre for Software Technology and former Director HP Labs India: Dr. N Seshagiri played a very important role in Government Informatics long before that phrase was invented. He was a versatile professional who was quick to learn new technologies and adopt them. His leadership has built NIC into an organization which serves several sectors of Government activity all over India. He will be remembered for a long time for his many achievements.

4. Dr. M L Goyal, Past President (1994-96) & Fellow, CSI: I am shocked to know about the sad demise of Dr. N Seshagiri, Founder, NIC & Fellow, CSI. A Great Man. He was awarded CSI Fellowship at CSI Annual Convention held at Kolkata in 1986. I had worked in CMC Ltd. from 1977 to 2008. NIC was like a sister organisation to CMC Ltd. for several years as both of them were under Department of Electronics, Govt. of India Dr Seshagiri used to be a Member of CMC Board, where his contribution was significant.

5. A N Ramachandra, Registrar, IIIT-Bangalore: It is really sad day for the country. I had the good fortune of travelling with this visionary from Mussoorie to Dehradun in 1996.

6. Prof. B L Deekshatulu, Fellow IDRBT (RBI- Govt. of India): Dr Seshagiri and I were contemporaries at IISc (of course he was 3 yrs junior to me). We both received, at the same time, the "best PhD thesis award" in 1964. He was from ECE and I was from EE.Later on also, we were in many committee meetings and had many interactions. He was an Intellectual, pleasant person but firm with his ideas. We all miss him very much, and India lost a brilliant son.

7. Jayant Krishna, Principal Consultant, Tata Consultancy Services: The passing away of Dr. N Seshagiri is indeed a great loss to the nation. He was truly a visionary who dreamt of the possibilities e-governance can bring on board for the state and made a pioneering contribution by creating, mentoring and nurturing NIC.

8. Prof. H N Mahabala, Former President, CSI: He had the vision to create NICNET when PCs were still very expensive and email was a luxury. He pursued his goals aggressively. He made sure DOE funded R&D projects and moved us to fifth generation. In a way he liberated electronics from clutches of govt babus and allowed it to bloom. He can be considered a messiah of IT in India.

9. Rattan Datta, Former President CSI: India has lost a visionary and an active promoter of IT in India. When in early 2000s, the IT Policy was developed with him as convener; the report was on NIC site the very next day. It was a revolution. I used to bring up this in my lectures. Salutation from IT fraternity. May his soul rest in peace.

10. D P Sinha : Adjunct Professor IIM Kozhikode: The entire IT Community is shocked to hear the news of passing away of Dr N Seshagiri. When I started my career and worked at RCC, Kolkata in late seventies, some of my friends joined NIC. Dr (Mrs) Jayasree Chowdhury was in the charge of the then, Kolkata Office. At that time I heard Dr Seshagiri's name and also his works and various projects to the development of IT. I had the privilege of listening to his many lectures and could meet him possibly for the first time when he received the Fellowship Award of CSI in 1986 in Kolkata. Many initiatives, primarily at the

government level, have become operational under the dynamic leadership of Dr Seshagiri at NIC. The list is many and varied. We, the computer fraternity and CSI, in particular acknowledge his immense contributions for the development of IT in India

11. Ashok Agarwal , Professor IIMC ( 1969 – 198); Founder SQL Star International: I had the honour of working with Dr. Seshagiri while setting up CAM Center at IIM Calcutta and do fondly remember his guidance and support at that time . Rarely does one come across a government officer, that too so senior, who was easily accessible with his entire focus only to find solutions to issues thrown at him. I personally believe that we all owe him immensely for the introduction of ICT in Indian Government – and to improve the quality of life of the common person.

12. Brig S V S Chowdhry (Retd) Fellow CSI, Fellow IE (India) Distinguished Fellow IET:

I am deeply shocked to learn about the sad demise of Dr N Seshagiri, former DG National Informatics Centre. He was a great visionary and played a leading role in the introduction of computerization in the country, especially in the Government Sector. I interacted with him on several occasions and was greatly impressed by his dedication to the cause of IT. His passing away is a severe loss to the IT Community in the country

13. Kesav Nori, EVP and Exec Director, TCS: I am sad to learn of Prof. Seshagiri’s passing away. I knew several of his students, all of whom did very well. As Ramani says, he started the role of IT in Government through NIC. A true visionary. I knew him at TIFR from the early 1970s. He was brilliant and had formulated a vision for OR on OR.

14. A Ventakeshan, Director NIC, Bangalore: Seshagiri was a great visionary and ahead of his times. He overcame lot of objections from his colleagues for liberalising the software policy. He gave a lot of push to introduce computerisation in the state departments, which led to ushering in e-governance.

15. Subimal Kundu, Fellow, CSI: It is a sad day for entire IT community in India. He was a great visionary and helped in IT Revolution in India. I had the opportunity to listen to his lecture way back in 1982 when he addressed a seminar organised for the IT professionals of Heavy Engineering Industries in New Delhi. I heard his inspiring speech during the CSI-86 Convention in Kolkata where he was awarded fellowship by CSI. Dr R Srinivasan, Part President and Fellow.

16. Dr Seshagiri was the architect of information processing in Government. He was not only instrumental in liberalizing the procurement processes in the eighties, but also applied it in full and created systems through National Informatics Center (NIC) for the Government of India. He had tremendous "appetite for risk" and launched a full-fl edged X.25 based network using satellite. He had foresight to launch an advanced technology Program in Computer Networking, which later became Ernet (Education and Research Network).

Undoubtedly, a pioneer in many ways, his passing away is a huge loss to the ICT community. India lost an illustrious son. – Prof S V Raghavan, President, CSI.
