E-GOVERNANCE IN INDIA: EVOLUTION TO FUTURE CHALLENGES

Abstract [English]

From 1947 until 1984, India saw a great deal of discussion about good governance, with the transition from traditional to modern, effective administration at the forefront of all official discussions. After that, India saw a computer-based era from 1984 to 1995 and an Internet-based era starting in 1995.Twelve minimal agendas for implementing E-governance in all union ministries and departments were drafted by India in 2000. E-governance has become a practical instrument for increasing government accountability, transparency and responsibility. It also reduced the amount of time needed to provide services. But the digital divide is a significant issue in India's E-governance development, preventing some groups of people from using information and communication technology. This hinders the process of integrating people into government administration, which is one of the main objectives of E-governance initiatives in India. India is moving closer to being a fully digital economy, and E-governance is being applied to every aspect of government operations. Simultaneously, issues including the digital divide, infrastructure development for the process' overall success, public digital education, and electronic device subsidies must protect, closing the digital barrier across different groups of people, and closing the gap between those who participate in E-governance and those who do not.
