NEW DELHI, INDIA: Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu have successfully implemented State-Wide Area Network (SWAN), the backbone infrastructure for rolling out the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP).

All the three states have opted for the private-public partnership (PPP) mode for the project.

According to the SWAN implementation status report released by the Ministry of Information Technology, implementations are in progress under the PPP mode, in Jharkhand, Kerala, Gujarat, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Assam and Punjab.
