We are so used to technology\nthat we enjoy its sources in our day-to-day life. It is evident from the fact that\nwe are dependent on computer for everything we do and it has made our&nbsp; lives easier and comfortable. This technology\nis the greatest boon to our society. One of the major industries in this regard\nis \u201cInformation Technology\u201d. Information Technology has two major components\u2014IT\nServices and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). Information Technology has an\nimportant role in India and it has transformed India from a slow-moving\nbureaucratic economy to a land of innovative entrepreneurs. India is now one of\nthe biggest IT capitals of the modern world and all the major players of the IT\nsector are present in the country. The IT sector has increased its contribution\nto the GDP of India from 1.2% in 1998 to 7.7% in 2017. According to NASSCOM,\nthe <br>\nsector aggregated revenue of $160 billion in 2017 with export revenue standing\nat $99 billion and domestic revenue at $48 billion, growing by over 13%. Prime\nMinister Mr. Narendra Modi has started a project called Digital India to help\nIT secure a robust position both inside and outside India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The\ncountry\u2019s&nbsp; IT service industry was born\nin Mumbai in 1967 with the establishment of Tata Group in partnership with\nBurroughs. The first software export zone SEEPZ\u2014the precursor to the modern-day\nIT part\u2014was established in Mumbai in 1973. More than 80% of&nbsp; country\u2019s software exports were from SEEPZ in\n1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian economy underwent major economic\nreforms in 1991 leading to a new era of globalisation and international\neconomic integration and annual economic growth of over 6% from 1993 to 2002.\nThe economic reforms were driven in part by significant Internet&nbsp; users in our country. The administration\nunder former Prime Minister the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee placed the\ndevelopment of Information Technology among its top five priorities and formed\nthe Indian National Task Force on Information Technology and Software\nDevelopment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian IT market currently focuses on\nproviding low-cost solution in the services sector of global IT. The presence\nof Indian companies in the product development business is very meagre, however,\nthe number is slowly rising. US giants outsourcing work to India do not\noutsource the high end SDLC (Systems Development Life Cycle) process like\nrequirement analysis, high-level design and architectural design, although some\nIndian IT players have enough competency to take up and be successful in the\nhigh level software jobs. The other prominent trend is that IT jobs which were\nonce confined to Bengaluru are now expanding to cities like Chennai, Hyderabad\nand Pune. Research in the industry was earlier concentrated in Programming languages\nlike Java, but in the recent times, the research focus has changed towards\ntechnologies like Mobile computing, Cloud computing and Software as a service.\nThis shift is attributed to the preference of clients for ubiquitous computing\nover standalone computing. The IT sector has also led to massive employment\ngeneration in India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTechnology empowers the less empowered.\u201d \u2014PM Narendra Modi We live in a modern world where technology is&nbsp; crucial&nbsp; for humanity.
