E-governance

E-Governance is broadly defined as an "application of Information technology to the functioning of the government." In the context of e-government project ICT is introduced primarily to improve efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of governments. It is a major challenge before the government to successfully develop them, successfully due to existing problem such as, lack of integrated services, lack of key persons, population, different languages, low-network etc. To provide E-governance there should be a unified plan and prioritization at the state level allows government to maintain the right balance between its interests and those of the citizen. So the focus appears to settle on citizen satisfaction through citizen visible E-governance initiatives such as citizen charters.

This paper describes that E-governance relies heavily on the effective use of internet and other emerging technologies to receive and deliver information and services easily, quickly, efficiently and inexpensively.
