Having attended a meeting to strategize a state's IT project particularly in education, I am worried at how projects at this scale are incompetently managed, strategized, and executed. Despite lack of expertise in certain areas, installation of the wrong personnel into certain committees and working groups have proven that IT agenda state level will be merely be showcasing of deadlinked webpages at launching ceremony. By far, I don't believe that academicians alone should be responsible in this planning. Three pronged approach is required to gauge everybody's inputs - government(Federal & State), private(players in the value chain), and community(educators, learners, marginalized group).
This brings me to a question whether federal intervention should be kept at minimum, or that we just let the state pursue its own agenda since federal is sluggish lot.
