CIITA an association of associations which has been formed by IT associations of several states. Founding members are associations like COMPASS, NECTA, BITA, JITA, ITDAS, NETO, JCWA, CAD, DCDA, ITAO.

Apart from this, North Bengal IT Trader organization is objecting the selection. Also North East Computers Traders Association are supporting NITO for the same.

“Every time presidential post for CIITA is selected, not elected. It shows there is no democracy in the association. It has been seen that committee members of CIITA are selected from COMPASS only. As we are the part of CIITA and we wish for showing concern related to the issue. Also CIITA is not the only property of COMPASS so we don’t want any president for CIITA from COMPASS” said, Manoj Baith, President, NITO.

Our members spent lots of money for CIITA hoping it will focus on the betterment for eastern region. CIITA should think and work for all members association. The main vision of CIITA was to facilitate the growth of the ICT business in India along with taking care of its members association” Jayanto Haldar, Secretary, NITO.
