The State of E-governance in India:A Cross-country Study
The capacity to govern is one of the ongoing quests of humanity, but that capacity is not equally distributed in space or in time.Some countries in the world can go about the process of governing themselves with little conscious concern about their ability to do so.For the rest of the world governing is a more problematic consideration.Even for those countries that are confident about the capacity to govern, that confidence may in reality be complacency when viewed from a more detached perspective.This is in part because conceptions of good governance are culturally and historically contingent and what is functional in one political setting may be in many ways sub-optimal in other settings.The attempts to reform public administration have been ubiquitous.Even when there have been manifest needs to consolidate democracy and to improve the functioning of the institutions of public participation there also has been a perceived need to put the functioning of the bureaucracy right.This emphasis on administrative reform is well placed given the centrality of administration is implementing programs, and its role as the principal contact between State and society.The greatest disparity between developed and less developed nations is no longer a matter of natural resources, or even of human capital (increasingly mobile as it is), but is the growing divide in access to organizational capacity and the extent to which this impedes the coordination and exploitation of informational resources.This organizational capacity is often directly associated with the ability to embody ICT within networked structures that can link government to economic and social development in new ways.In this context, the present study was carried out to assess the strengths and weaknesses of various electronic governance projects in 13 states of the country with emphasis on organizational transformation-adoption of information technology, technology application, institutional capacities and performance and sustainability of E-governance in the country.
