We cannot ignore the fact that Information Technology has emerged and developed in to a key dominant segment in the Indian economy. The fundamental motivation for the implementation of e-governance in India is to provide an efficient government, the government which is simple, accountable, responsive and transparent. A demand driven ‘citizen interface’ e-governance implemented in India would enhance the success of ICT ventures, especially in rural areas. Although e-governance is of main concern for all state governments, some have taken a front and developed successful models from which others can take a lead. The study assesses the significant project implemented by Tamilnadu state government at panchayat level. In order to analyze the objectives of the study, statistical technique simple ranking technique was applied. Shortage of staff as well as deputation of the staff for other purposes makes the problem more severe, and results in the ineffectiveness of modern administration tools for serving the community better. In the Panchayat, past data related to birth/death and marriage registration that was entered under the Akshaya initiatives could not be verified so far due to the above reasons. As a result, the website has missing data for many years. A review of the impact of e-Governance on public service delivery, digital divide, cost of service, corruption, etc. has reveals that the potential of e-Governance projects to contribute to development has been unquestionably accepted across countries.
