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.
8.
1. The BroadcastingModel
• 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.
9.
2. The CriticalFlow 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.
10.
3. The ComparativeAnalysis
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/Mobilizationand 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.
12.
5. The Interactive-ServiceModel
• 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.
13.
SIGNIFICANCE OF E-GOVERNANCE
1.Administrative development
a) Automation of Administrative Processes

databases are now maintained in computers.
c) Quality of Services

ENABLING A COMPATIBLEENVIRONMENT 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.
17.
c) Business ProcessRe-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.

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
