2.2 e-GOveRnanCe
E-Governance, also known as electronic governance, refers to the use of electronic, or ICT (information and communication
technology) technologies, by the government to govern for the welfare of its citizens. The Internet, Local Area Network
(LAN), mobile phones, etc. are examples of ICT tools. The use of ICT by the government facilitates citizens’ access to
information. The government has established ICT-enabled services such as birth or death certificate registration, railway
ticket booking, RTI application submission, and so on. E-governance empowers citizens both socially and economically,
and it improves their lives by providing them with better information and services. It allows citizens to gain direct access
to information without paying a middleman or tout. It brings about system transparency. The e-governance portal’s
services can be broadly classified into two categories: providing information and providing online services.
2.2.1 Initiative
The main thrust for e-Governance in India was provided by the 1987 launch of NICNET, the national satellite-based
computer network. This was followed by the launch of the District Information System of the National Informatics
Centre (DISNIC) eprogram, which offered free hardware and software to state governments in order to computerise
all district offices in the country. By 1990, NICNET had been extended to all district headquarters via the state capitals.
In the years since, computerization, tele-connectivity, and internet connectivity have resulted in the establishment of
numerous e-Governance initiatives at both the federal and state levels. In 2006, the Department of Electronics and
Information Technology (DEITY) and Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) developed
the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP).
