E-Governance Challenges

Governments and public sector organizations around the world are facing to reform their public administration organizations and deliver more efficient and cost effective services, as well as better information and knowledge to their stakeholders. E-governance is the effective use of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) to improve the system of governance that is in place, and thus provide better services to the Citizens. e-Governance is considered as a high priority agenda in India, as it is considered to be the only means of taking IT to the "Common Public". Developments in e-Governance provide opportunities to harness the power of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to make the business of governance inexpensive, qualitatively responsive, and truly encompassing. In this paper we discuss about the basic problems and acceptability of e-Governance in India.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY has brought revolutionary changes in every walk of life. It has accelerated the pace of globalization. Use of Internet and computers for different purposes is increasing rapidly. Internet has facilitated an efficient, speedy and transparent process for disseminating information to the public and other agencies working in different fields. The governments formulate the policies and implement them through their administrative machinery. In this process, there has to be downward, up-ward, horizontal, vertical communication between different departments of the government and the citizens. The electronic Medias of communication and computers have eased the process of administration. So, E-Governance has become a big buzzword today in government circles.

With the advent of Internet technology has changed the way we live and has provided many good opportunities for the job seekers, employers, business community and consumers. For this one need to understand the way Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has presented the opportunities for the Government as well as the private sector. E-Governance is the effective use of Information and Communication Technology to improve the system of governance that in place and thus provide better services to the citizens. E-Governance is considered as a high priority agenda in India, as it is considered to be the only mean of taking IT to the " Common Public ". This new paradigm has brought about a revolution in the quality of services delivered to the citizens. It has brought about transparency in the governing process; saving of time due to provision of services through single window; simple procedures; better office and record management; control over corruption; politeness, helping attitude and job handling capacity of the dealing personnel. There is time when government department might have come across shortage of resources in one department and excess of resources in the other. This could be due to non availability of the proper data and facilities to access the data. Though the government departments are computerised and networked more for the purpose of Internet usage and mail transfer. Still the information is not properly utilized because the information is stored in different formats, in different platforms. In this paper the focus is made on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) with the help of which the government department can not only maximize access to information but can also get rid of massive paper work often associated with various government agencies.

The e-Governance (digital government or online government) refers to government’s use of information technology to exchange information and services with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. E-Governance may be applied by the legislature, judiciary, or administration, in order to improve internal functioning of the system. E-Governance is a process of reform in the way Governments work, share information, engage citizens and deliver services to external and internal clients for the benefit of both government and the clients that they serve. This paper studies the current scenario , problems , goals and the future of e-governance in India.

India has evolved over a period of time and various state governments and ministries of central government are at different stages of implementation. What began as computerization of government department subsequently led to streamlining of processes through computer networking. Of late the Government Process Re-engineering and Change Management have acquired Citizen Centricity and Service orientation. The previous e-Governance initiatives played a very important role in shaping the e-Governance strategy of India. The government of India has come up with National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) taking a holistic view of e-Governance initiative across the country integrating them into a collective vision and shared goal. The ultimate objective is to bring public services closer to citizens. The present paper is a review paper that critically evaluates the e-governance initiatives take by Indian government and attempts to find out the difficulties and how to overcome them.  Index Terms-e-governance, common services centres, village level entrepreneur.

With the advancement of Information and communication technology resulted to a shift from traditional government system to a citizen-centric governance system. This advancement in Information and Communication Technology sector also brings the concept of e-governance into the limelight. Many countries of the world already have adopted e-governance system in their administrative system and it is implemented in various countries through various initiatives. A developing country like India, it is also thought that e-governance brings desired changes in the administrative system by making the whole administrative system convenient, efficient, effective and fully accountable and consensus oriented. But in a diverse country like India which has confronted many problems from time to time hinders the way of effective implementation of e-governance. This paper highlights a brief understanding of e-governance and also aims to give its focus on various issues and challenges faced during e-governance implementation in India.

It is broadly believed that information and communication technology (ICT) empowers organizations to reduce costs and expandcompetences. Information and communication technology in the structure of the government is for the benefit of the society. Information and communication technology provides way out for e-Governance implementation and government process issues. Information and communication technology is an important part of E-governance. Use of Information and communication technology in E-Governance domain is the recent trend in the governance development all over the world including India.

Each and every country faces a different set of factors that can help or hamper its overall growth towards e-government development. In the late 1990s, ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has been introduced as an instrument to governance, a leap forward leading to egovernance. India has kept up with ICT developments worldwide, but, compared to other nations in a similar economic, position, and the overall ICT infrastructure is poor. In this backdrop, the present study tries to assess the status of e-governance development of Indian economy based on certain indicators. Moreover, the paper also attempt to analyse the relationship between level of income and EGDI (E-Governance Development Index) and related indices of selected countries of the world. Finally, it will make a comparative analysis of China and India in the e-governance indicators.

Governments all over the world have been using ICTs such as internet, websites, computers and mobile phones to provide various government services in an efficient, equitable and transparent manner with less corruption. The purpose of this paper is to examine the challenges encountered in e-government as well as the potential opportunities available in the context of Indian society. The study reveal India is still lagging behind in utilizing information and communication technologies for delivering government services online.

E-Governance means providing government services online with use of latest information technology i.e. Online working of a government, providing government services online to its citizens at their door step is known as E-Governance. We can also say that it means online availability of government services. The technology as well as methodology used in E-Governance project provides a clear roadmap for efficient delivery of services at the citizen door step. In today's time the development of any country/society highly depends on the efficient use of E-Governance. Stage of development of any country can be measured by the implementation of E-Governance in that country. Today's Indian government has also full faith in E-Governance. Due to widespread demand ofE-governance from citizens/society and exponentially increasing size of available data, new technologies like Open source solutions and cloud computing need to be incorporated. In this paper, the latest trends of technology that the Indian government has adopted have been discussed. While working on this project we have found that E-Governance has made the working of Indian government much more efficient and much more transparent to citizens. We have also presented an exhaustive list of E-Governance projects which is currently being implemented in India. We have also discussed a mechanism for improving E-Governance by including technologies such as Open Source and Cloud Computing.

Governance can be termed as a system where in services to citizens are provided by the administration through a controlling mechanism with four phases, namely - information, interaction, transaction and transformation. Public administration, governed by bureaucratic structures built on rationale principles, that dominated the twentieth century, has failed to respond to the changing requirements of the present times. E-governance, which is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in public administration, means rendering of government services and information to the public using electronic means. This new paradigm has brought about a revolution in the quality of service delivered to the citizens. It has ushered in transparency in the governing process; saving of time due to provision of services through single window; simplification of procedures; better office and record management; reduction in corruption; and improved attitude, behaviour and job handling capacity of the dealing
