E-Governance is the public sector’s use of information and communication technologies with the aim of improving information and service delivery, encouraging citizen participation in the decision-making process and making government more accountable, transparent and effective. e-Governance presents challenges and opportunities to transform both the mechanics of government, and the nature of governance itself. The big challenges are not technological but cultural. Effective implementation of eGovernance can take IT to the common man, helping national and state governments to align their services with the changing needs of both citizens and stakeholders, as well as develop the economy.
An IT-driven eGovernance system primarily involves the creation, storage, analysis, dissemination and use of information. It can provide vital inputs to the government's policy-making process. It makes government processes accountable
ICT is an enabler of efficient and effective functioning of government. In turn, a more efficient functioning of government allows for improved and better governance. The implementation of e-government facilitates citizen participation in governance by increasing access channels to government. The first step towards e-Governance is to understand the processes of the Government. e-Governance is not entirely an IT initiative it actually consists of Resource Management, Process Re-engineering, Regulatory and Administrative Reforms, Change Management, Information Management, and many more component. Transformation of processes is the key while implementing e-Governance project, its not just translation of existing processes in computerized form. So in order to achieve the ultimate goals of e-Governance the task must be carried out by domain experts who are specialized in Governance but not in Information Technology.
E-Governance automates and thereby speeds up routine administrative functions. It enables the government to work better, yields higher revenue growth and costs less, apart from servicing citizens' needs as never before.
