Abstract: The Government of India is transcending from traditional modus operandi of governance
towards technological involvement in the process of governance. Both the Central and the State
authorities are trying to bring transparency and ease by transacting electronically. The
Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEIT) has joined hands with the
government and is helping the citizens to be at ease and even participate in the functioning of the
government. In this paper, an attempt has been made to have an in-depth understanding of the
concept of e-governance and the role of various schemes launched at the central and state levels.
E-governance and Digital India go hand in hand, in fact pave way for each other. Just like Digital
India Initiative is setting an example for the world at large, e-governance when implemented and
utilised properly can bring great changes and take our economy to higher levels. |
