In 2001, the Government of Nepal established the National Information Technology Center (NITC) and Government Integrated Data Center (GIDC), which marked the beginning of a new chapter in information and communication technology. Although initially created to record data for government offices, ministries, and departments, it quickly became a gateway to developing and expanding ICT infrastructure.

KATHMANDU, May 1: The Public Service Commission (PSC) is going to start the process of calling for re-application after the loss of the applicants’ data due to the problem in the server of the National Information Technology Center.

KATHMANDU, April 4: ExtensoData, the prime minister's IT consultant Asgar Ali's data company, has many senior government officials worried over 'possible misuse of government data'. ExtensoData, established in 2018, is one of many subsidiaries of F1Soft International, where Ali is vice president. It has been previously reported in media that Ali has been accessing people's vital data since long back.The recent incident of his alleged involvement in the unauthorized removal of a news story from Kathmandupress.com has raised eyebrows.
