Nandan as Project HeadBy: N Gulati | Monday , 22 Jun '09 11:44:02 AM Reply | Forward Are there no competent persons in Govt. Sector, that they have to fall back on an Infosys head. This project requires more of management skills than technology. Why the election cards and UID not be one. Why taxpayers money is wasted when Election Cards are there.
