LEGAL ENABLEMENT OF ICT SYSTEMS IN INDIA

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an essential requirement these days. No Nation of the World can afford to ignore its benefits and utility. With the benefits of ICT also come its drawbacks and disabling features. This takes the shape of misuse of ICT in various forms and for many purposes. The increasing cases of cyber crimes and contraventions are a prime example of the same. It is of utmost importance that while encouraging the active uses of ICT we must also prevent its misuses as well. To do the same we need to formulate suitable laws that are capable of meeting the contemporary societal requirements. This is where the legal enablement of ICT systems in India assumes significance.
