Abstract

Electronic Governance in an important tool in the 21st century for the exchange of administrative functions both in public and private sector. It is the communication between government to citizen, government to business, government to government and government to employees for the delivery of government services. Today, the services, exchange of ideas, business transactions all take place through E-governance. The work done here is easy, economic, time saving and quick in all spheres. Nowadays all governmental and non-governmental sectors are using electronic media for its job application, new policy making, announcement of notification and result sharing etc., are maintained well. Transparency is the key idea of e-governance with which one can easily access to the minimum governmental information available.There are multiple reasons to praise E-Governance. In all aspects of daily administration electronic medium is an aid when compare to other means of communication and administration. Nevertheless, it is with some flaws when we see in Indian context. The main reason for its flaw is the lack of knowledge among masses except educated people. One of the features of Indian economy is illiteracy. So most of the citizens could not able to understand the access of E-governance, many lack the knowledge of reading and understanding and even lack of knowledge of English is also another major problem. Because the main medium of E- governance is English, majority fail in this. However E- governance is playing a pivotal role in transparent administration.
