Abhay K. along with the momento of eGov 2.0 award 2010

The story began on Thursday 8th July 2010 when I opened a Twitter account of IndianDiplomacy and put the first official tweet  of the Public Diplomacy Division -'Special Issue of India Pespectives on Tagore at http://www.scribd.com/doc/34044322/India-Perspectives-Special-Issue-on-Rabindranath-Tagore ' before leaving for his village in Nalanda. The rest is history. Facebook, Youtube, Blogspot & Issuu followed and caught the imagination of the mainstream media.About 16 stories appeared in HT, ToI, Mail Today, Tehelka etc. on the social media initiatives of the Public Diplomacy Division. And then the award came on Thursday 28th October 2010. It was a victory of team work, able leadership of Navdeep Suri who fought many battles to let me continue implementing my vision.
