Infotech solutions vendor NIIT Technologies on Wednesday said it had bagged a Rs 300-crore deal to implement a Union home ministry’s project — Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System — which will be part of the proposed Natgrid. The company has been selected as the system integrator in Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. It is in active pursuit of similar opportunities in other states as well, a senior company official said. The execution of work is already on in Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand.
“These wins are an endorsement of our leadership in providing IT solutions to the government. We have a history of successful implementations with IT programmes in defence and home affairs,” CEO Arvind Thakur said here on the sidelines of the Nasscom leadership summit.
The project is a comprehensive and integrated nationwide system designed to help the police investigate crime and detect criminals.
