Morning Dear,
You will need to setup and NGO capable of imparting training to National Informatics Centre nationwide if you would like to instill some confidence in them enabling them to develop apps on FLOSS.
NIC doesnt develop these big apps - they tender for it. No one needs training to run or use a web app. All they need to know is how to use a keyboard and mouse. Just that no open source compnay bid for the tender. Main reason being that there is no open source company in India. (there *are* companies which develop and deploy using open source platforms and tools, but they *dont* release their software as open source, so for all practical purposes it makes no difference to the community or the country whether e-gov runs on IIS on M$ or apache on linux)
