Being implemented under the National e-governance programme (NEGP), this information highway has two components G2G (government to government) and G2C (government to citizen). While state wide area network (SWAN) has been developed for the G2G services, common service centre (CSC) will be developed under the G2C component.

SWAN will work as the backbone of this information super highway and 2 Mbps leased lines hired from the BSNL will allow communication between the state headquarters and the far-flung block offices in real time. This will also allow to have the facility of video conferencing. As SWAN will work through leased lines, high speed data transfer too would be possible once its functioning starts in full swing.

As the NEGP envisages developing only a vertical link with block offices being the last point of communication, the state government has added one horizontal component as well in its upcoming information super highway and there are plans to take this link down to the panchayat level on the one hand and to develop connectivity between various offices on the other. There are also plans to use widescale use of Wi-Fi and Wi Max technologies for glitch free net connectivity at this level.
