CHAPTER-1
1.1INTRODUCTION:-
E-Governance or electronic Governance may be defined as “delivery of government services and,
information to the public using electronic means. Such means of delivering information is often
referred to as information technology or ‘IT’ in short. Use of IT in government facilitates an efficient,
speedy and transparent process for disseminating information to the public and other agencies and
for performing government administration activities”.
Global shifts towards increased deployment of IT by governments emerged in the nineties, with
the advent of the World Wide Web (WWW). The technology as well as e-governance initiatives have
come a long way since then. With the increase in Internet and mobile connections, the citizens are
learning to exploit their new mode of access in wide ranging ways. They have started expecting more
and more information and services online form governments and corporate organizations to further
their civic, professional and personal lives, thus creating abundant evidences that the new ‘e-
citizenship’ is taking hold.
The Gyandoot project in Dhar district, which begun in 2000, is considered the forerunner of
what was to be a rash of projects that built a front-end in many village communities which was
supposed to be serviced by a back-end mostly in the district collectorate. The idea and the effort
was to create pressure from the community front-end for digitisation of back-end departmental
processes. The latter was largely a localised effort, mostly dependent on the initiative and
energy of the concerned district collector, often with some very spirited support of the district
National Informatic Centre (NIC) staff. Perhaps the most organised and successful effort in this
first phase of e-governance in India, roughly between 2000-05, was Rural e-Seva in West
Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. As for community level front end development two
initiatives, N-logue and Drishti stand out, each of which at one time claimed to be running
thousands of community telecentres across the country that could deliver e-governance
services.
[Link] OF THE STUDY:-
* To build an informed society.
* To increase Government and Citizen interaction.
* To bring transparency in the governing process.
* To reduce the cost of governance and reaction time of the Government.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:-
Governance is all about flow of information between the Government and Citizens,
Government and Businesses and Government and Government. E-Governance also
covers all these relationships as follows.
A. Government to Citizen (G2C)
B. Citizen to Government (C2G)
C. Government to Government (G2G)
D. Government to Business (G2B)
[Link] OF STUDY:-
The study is based on secondary data. The data is collected from various sources
newspapers, magazines and internet websites. Data is collected from its inception till 30
APR,2017. For presentation table is used and for analysis percentage method used.
1.4LIMITATION OF STUDY:-
Although India has ever increasing population using mobile internet but still it is
below 2.5%.
Overall internet users in India are 243 million only.
Most of the governments are still using analog or paper work ,thus slow rate of
modernization has limited the use of e governance.
Most of government officials lack internet/computer literacy.
No strong law and system to regulate internet, information on internet or data of
users. Thus making whole system vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Slow speed of internet.
Low literacy in India especially in rural regions.
Lack of information about e governance to people results in low usage of technology.
Lack of inter connectivity of government departments result in confusion if more than
one agency involved.
High internet cost as telecommunication infrastructure is still evolving. India still uses
2G speed internet in age of 4G.

1.5 Mission Mode Projects and their implementation status:-
NeGP comprises of 27 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) encompassing 10 Central MMPs,
10 State MMPs and 7 Integrated MMPs spanning multiple Ministries/ Departments.
"Mission Mode" implies that the objective and the scope of the project are clearly
defined, that the project has measurable outcomes and service-levels, and the project
has well-defined milestones and timelines for implementation.
MMPs are owned and spearheaded by various Line Ministries concerned for Central,
State, and Integrated MMPs. The concerned Ministry/ Department is entirely responsible
for all decisions related to their MMPs. However, decisions impacting NeGP as a whole
are taken in consultation with DIT. Additionally, wherever required by the concerned
Ministries/ Departments, DIT provides necessary support for project formulation and
development.
Every State has the flexibility of identifying up to 5 additional State-specific MMPs
(relevant for economic development within the State). In cases where Central Assistance
is required, such inclusions are considered on the advice of the concerned Line
Ministries/ Departments.
