INTRODUCTION
• Reinventing government has been a dominant theme
since 1990s.
• Improving the system of public service delivery with the
help of ICT.
• E-Governance is simply means the move towards SMART
governance.

CONCEPT OF E-GOVERNANCE
SMART GOVERNANCE
• Simple - user friendly government and avoiding complex
process.
• Moral - Technology interventions improve the efficiency
of anticorruption agencies, police, judiciary, etc.
• Accountable - implementations of performance
measurement mechanism, made govt and public offices
more accountable to people.
• Responsive - speed up the processes, service delivery.
• Transparent - providing information in the public
domains like in their websites.
IMPORTANCE OF SMART GOVERNANCE
Improving the internal organisational processes of governments;
providing better information and service delivery;
 increasing government transparency in order to reduce corruption;
 reinforcing political credibility and accountability; and
 promoting democratic practices through public participation and
consultation.
E-governance and E-government
• According to Thomas B. Riley government and governance
are both about getting the consent and cooperation of the
governed.
• Government- It is a formal structure or a body holds
political power.
• Governance- governance is the outcome of the action of
government. Facilitating the life of people.
• In 1989 concept of Governance was first highlighted in
world bank report on sub Saharan Africa.
• E-Governance is the using of ICT to involve multi
stakeholders in decision-making and in making
governments open and accountable.
MODELS OF E-GOVERNANCE
Dr. Arie Halachmi in his paper, namely, ‘ E-Government Theory and
Practice has given five important Models of e-governance.
1. The Broadcasting Model.
2. The Critical Flow Model.
3. The Comparative Analysis Model.
4. The E-Advocacy/Mobilisation and Lobbying
Model.
5. The Interactive-Service Model.
1. The Broadcasting Model
• Disseminating useful governance information to public via ICT.
• To make citizen well informed about all policies and actions of
government.
• Informed citizen is able to judge the government activities, their
functioning.
• All informs like the reports of commissions and their
recommendations.
2. The Critical Flow Model
• Targeted audience is there unlike broadcasting
model.
• Instantly transferring the critical information to its
strategic user group located anywhere.
• For example, sending disaster alerts to the people
of vulnerable area via SMS.
3. The Comparative Analysis
Model
• Highly significant model for developing countries.
• Comparison will help to analyse between past and
present.
• For example, SDG index by NITI Aayog helps to
measure and track India’s progress towards SDG set
by UN.
• Kerala and Uttarakhand is on top, Bihar and
Jharkhand having low ranking.
• Health Index by NITI Aayog. Kerala on the top and up
made up last in the list.
• This setting help to assess the progress attained by
4. The E-Advocacy/Mobilization and Lobbying Model
• Strong virtual communities formed who shares
similar values and concerns.
• It advocates to influence government policies and
decisions.
• For example, the online petitions, social media
#campaigns.
• Mullaperiyar decommission online signed petition.
5. The Interactive-Service Model
• Government become directly available to citizens.
• Interactive Government to Consumer to Government
(G2C2G).
• Government election, people’s feedback to the
government after monitoring and evaluating them.
• Two way interaction.
SIGNIFICANCE OF E-GOVERNANCE
1. Administrative development
a) Automation of Administrative Processes
• Minimal human intervention.
• Higher efficiency.
b) Paper Work Reduction
• Emergence of less paper office.
• Documentation, report preparation,
databases are now maintained in computers.
c) Quality of Services
• Responsive
• No delays and cost effective.
• Great convenience.
• Grievance redressal system.
d) Elimination of Hierarchy
• Reduced procedural delay.
• Use of intranet and LAN for easy
communication.
• Increased efficiency.
e) Change in Administrative Culture
• Bureaucratic pathology has been removed like red
tapism which leads to corruption.
• Values of accountability, openness, integrity, fairness,
equity, responsibility and justice in the administrative
culture.
2. Effective Service Delivery
a) Transparency
- Easy access to the documents made government
accountable to public.
b) Economic development
- ICTs reduces the transaction costs, which makes services
cheaper.
- Helps remote areas to get informed about markets,
agriculture, health etc.
c) Social development
- Informed citizenry can participate and voice their concerns.
d) Strategic information system
- analyse market and competitor information to help them
plan make business more successful.
ENABLING A COMPATIBLE ENVIRONMENT FOR E-GOVERNANCE
IMPLEMENTATION IN PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS
a) Building a Congenial Environment-Political support, e-
governance incentives, government resistance, and public
awareness can bring about an environment for ICT
application in organizations by overcoming resistance and
generating demand for change.
b) Monitoring and Evaluation -The implementation of an e-
governance project necessitates constant monitoring to
ensure its functionality, with independent agencies
evaluating its success or failure based on pre-set
parameters.
c) Business Process Re-engineering- A step-by-step analysis of
government processes is necessary to ensure rationality and
simplicity, considering stakeholder viewpoints. Recommendations for
e-Governance should be identified, including redundant steps and
adaptable provisions. Government forms, processes, and structures
should be redesigned with procedural, institutional, and legal
changes.
d) Capacity Building and Creating Awareness- Capacity building for
e-governance projects requires organizational and professional
upgradation. Government organizations must conduct capacity
assessments and establish training institutions, with Administrative
Training Institutes at the top.
e) Identification of e-Governance Projects and Prioritization- Union
and State Governments should identify e-governance initiatives that cater
to citizens' needs, provide timely information, allow basic online
transactions, require verification of submitted data, and don't require
complex database creation or integration.
f) Implementation- The implementation of e-governance projects will
involve a comprehensive project management exercise, breaking down
the entire project into its components and activities for planning.
g) Protection Strategy for Critical Information Infrastructure Assets
