Good Governance through e-Governance : Moments for Retrospection

Babukumar O, Dr. M H Prahaladappa

Abstract :

India is moving towards achieving e–governance. The spread of e–governance initiatives have had a positive impact on the quality of governance. Geographical, social, & economic disparities are the biggest barriers for full–fledged e–governance. Illiteracy, lack of infrastructure, security and privacy of personal and financial data are other constraints. Being the largest democracy, second in terms of population and diversified geography itself creates the big challenges. E–governance in India is an evolutionary phenomenon, and requires a change in the mindset of all – citizen, executives and the government. With the support of the Internet, the government processes can be made efficient, effective, and citizen friendly. There are many challenging issues lying ahead. Security is the main concern for the citizen. To be effective, e–government should be integrated within a holistic approach that includes a supportive and democratic leadership, a viable communication infrastructure, and qualified personnel to operate the new technology. The government needs to make significant investments in areas such as IT training, assessment and awareness. The need of the hour is to maintain a proper database of all the citizens and well developed infrastructure. The strong political will power and the social acceptability of e–governance in urban as well as rural areas is required. From the study, it is clear that e–governance initiatives have been found successful in ensuring good governance. Despite various limitations e–governance has proved meritorious service to the people at large.
