PRESENTATION on
E-governance in India: Concept and Initiatives

2. INTRODUCTION
 E-Governance is nothing but use of internet technology as a
platform for exchanging information, providing services
and transacting with citizens, businesses, and other arms of
government.
 E-Governance provides a sound strategy to strengthen
overall governance. It can not only improve accountability,
transparency and efficiency of government processes, but
also facilitate sustainable and inclusive growth.
 EGovernance also provides a mechanism of direct delivery
of public services to the marginal segments of the society in
the remotest corners, without having to deal with
intermediariers.

3. HISTORY
In India, the main thrust for e-Governance was provided
by the launching of NICNET (National Informatics Centre NETwork)
in 1987 – the national satellite-based computer network. This was
followed by the launch of the District Information System of the
National Informatics Centre (DISNIC) programme to computerize all
district offices in the country for which free hardware and
software was offered to the State Governments. NICNET was
extended via the State capitals to all district headquarters by
1990. In the ensuing years, with ongoing computerization,
tele-connectivity and internet connectivity established a large
number of e-Governance initiatives, both at the Union and
State levels.

4. TYPES OF GOVERNMENT INTERACTION IN E-
GOVERNANCE.
 G2G: Government to Government
 G2C: Government to Citizen
 G2B: Government to Business
 G2E: Government to Employee

5. SOME INITIATIVES IN THE SAME FIELD
1. Government to Citizen (G2C) Initiatives:
 e-Mitra Project in Rajasthan: e-Mitra is an
integrated project to facilitate the urban and the rural
masses with maximum possible services related to
different state government departments through
Lokmitra-Janmitra Centers/Kiosks.
 Bhoomi Project: Online delivery of Land Records.
Self-sustainable e-Governance project for the
computerized delivery of 20 million rural land records to
6.7 million farmers through 177 Government-owned
kiosks in the State of Karnataka.

6. 2.Government to Business (G2B)
Initiatives:
 e-Procurement Project in Andhra
Pradesh and Gujarat:
To reduce the time and cost of doing business
for both vendors and government.
 MCA 21 By the Ministry of Corporate
Affairs: The project aims at providing easy
and secure online access to all registry related
services provided by the Union Ministry
of Corporate Affairs to corporates and other
stakeholders at any time and in a manner that
best suits them.

7. 3.Government to Government (G2G) Initiatives:
 Khajane Project in Karnataka: It is a
comprehensive online treasury computerization project
of the Government of Karnataka. The project has
resulted in the computerization of the entire treasury
related activities of the State Government and the
system has the ability to track every activity right from
the approval of the State Budget to the point of
rendering accounts to the government.
 SmartGov (Andhra Pradesh): SmartGov has been
developed to streamline operations, enhance efficiency
through workflow automation and knowledge
management for implementation in the Andhra Pradesh
Secretariat.

8. 4.Government to Employee (G2E)
Initiatives:
 Salary Notifications: Using SMS based
services the banks are informing to the
government employees about their transactions as
soon as the credited/debited into their accounts.
 Vacancy and Recruitment Notifications:
Government of India maintained employment
news offer SMS-based job vacancies, particularly
from various ministries and autonomous
organizations. The user has to register to get alerts
on SMS-based job vacancies

9. NATIONAL E-GOVERNANCE PLAN
 The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) has been formulated
by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology
(DEITY) and Department of Administrative Reforms and
Public Grievances (DARPG) in 2006.
 The NeGP aims at improving delivery of Government services
to citizens and businesses with the following vision: “Make all
Government services accessible to the common man in his
locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure
efficiency, transparency & reliability of such services at
affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man.”

10.  Central government initiatives as
mission mode projects (MMP)
1. Immigration, Visa and Foreigner’s Registration &
Tracking (IVFRT): India has emerged as a key tourist
destination, besides being a major business and service hub.
Immigration Check Post is the first point of contact that generates
public and popular perception about the country, thus necessitating
a state of the art system for prompt and user-friendly services.
2. UID: The unique identification project was conceived as an
initiative that would provide identification for each resident across
the country and would be used primarily as the basis for efficient
delivery of welfare services. It would also act as a tool for effective
monitoring of various programs and schemes of the government.

11. 3. Pensions: The pensions MMP is primarily aimed at making the
pension retirement related information, services and grievances handling
mechanism accessible online to the needy pensioners, through a
combination of interactive and non-interactive components, and thus, help
bridge the gap between the pensioners and the government.
 State Mission Mode projects:
1. Crime and Criminal Tracking Network &
Systems
2. National Land Records Modernization
Programme (NLRMP)
3. Public Distribution System

12. RECENT INITIATIVES:
 Direct Cash Transfer: To facilitate disbursements
of Government entitlements like NREGA, Social
Security pension, Handicapped Old Age Pension etc. of
any Central or State Government bodies, using Aadhaar
and authentication thereof as supported by UIDAI.

13.  Aadhar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) :
AEPS is a bank led model which allows online
interoperable financial inclusion transaction through the
Business correspondent of any bank using the Aadhaar
authentication. This has helped in financial inclusion.
The four Aadhaar enabled basic types of banking
transactions are as follows:-
 Balance Enquiry
 Cash Withdrawal
 Cash Deposit
 Aadhaar to Aadhaar Funds Transfer

14.  Digital Cloud for every Indian:
Certificates issued by the government — education,
residential, medical records, birth certificates, etc. — are to be
stored in individual ‘digital lockers’ and a communication
protocol established for government departments to access
them without physically having to see the hard copy. The
purpose of government is that copies of certificates issued by
the government itself not to be carried around by people to
government offices for various services.

15. ADVANTAGES OF E-GOVERNANCE
 Fast, Convenient and Cost Effective Service Delivery : With the advent of e-
Service delivery, the government can provide information and services at lesser
costs, in reduced time and with greater convenience. For instance, after the
computerization of land records in Karnataka, farmers can obtain a copy of their
Records of Rights, Tenancy and Crops (RTC) within 30 minutes, as against 30 days
that it used to take earlier. Moreover, a printed copy of the RTC at kiosks costs ` 15
only, as against heavy bribes that one had to pay earlier
 Transparency, Accountability and Reduced Corruption: Dissemination of
information through ICT increases transparency, ensures accountability and
prevents corruption. An increased use of computers and web based services
improves the awareness levels of citizens about their rights and powers. This helps
to reduce the discretionary powers of government officials and curtail corruption.
For instance, land registration requirements in Andhra Pradesh after
computerisation can now be completed within an hour without any official
harassment or bribes.
 Increased Participation by People: With easy access to the government services,
the faith of the citizens in the government increases and they come forward to share
their views and feedback. Increased accessibility to information has empowered the
citizens and has enhanced their participation by giving them the opportunity to
share information and contribution implementation of initiatives.

16. CHALLENGES
 Although the government has come up with several initiatives to facilitate
the access to public services, the desired outcomes are yet to be fully
realised. This can be largely attributed to various front-end and back-end
challenges that the government continues to face. Front-end challenges
relate to user-specific issues such as:
1. high illiteracy levels
2. non-availability of user friendly interfaces
3. inadequate power supply in rural areas
4. low broadband penetration
5. lack of awareness of eGovernance initiatives.
 On the other hand, back-end challenges relate to technical, process
Or human resource issues within the government. These issues include:
1. lack of systems integration within a department
2. lack of integration across government departments
3. limited knowledge of using computers at various levels of bureaucracy
4. and deployment of technology without proper process re-engineering.

17. CONCLUSION
 A vision is required to implement the e-government in India. To
meet the vision the challenges in the implementation of e-
government should be overcome. Then the environment needs to
be developed for the effective implementation of e-government in
India. But in spit of all chellenges India has number of award
wining e-governance projects. Therefore we can say that e-
Governance is the key to the “Good Governance” for the
developing countries like India to minimize corruption, provides
efficient and effective or quality services to their citizens.
