MINISTER OF STATE FOR PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS & PLANNING
(SHRI RAJEEV SHUKLA)
(a) The India Backbone Implementation Network (IbIn) is a network of organisations
and individuals that possess the skills and tools to align stakeholders and alleviate
bottlenecks that lead to poor implementation of projects and programmes in the
country. For implementation of IbIn, the Planning Commission has enrolled various
partners like Industry Associations, Non-Government Organisations and Multilateral
Organisations into the network. IbIn has undertaken a few projects in the nine months
since its inception and is also working on development of techniques and tools for
collaboration and coordination for dissemination around the country. Some of the
projects which are under implementation include Labour laws and Industrial
Relations, Business Regulatory Framework, Affordable Medicines, Stimulating
Growth of Medium, Small and Micro Industrial Clusters.
(b) The objective of IbIn is to improve the implementation framework. This would
help in achieving the goals and targets as laid out in the 12th Five Year Plan
document. To give an example, IbIn is applying collaboration-based skills into the
Business Regulatory Framework of the country to streamline the overall Business
Regulatory Environment to increase investment and hence increase industrial output
in the country.
(c) No, Madam. Since IbIn is a skills and tool based network of organisations and
individuals, there is no specific usage of broadband lines per se.
(d) Does not arise.
