In the era of
latest technologies, the e-governance system in India has a very
significant place and it also facilitates a huge number of users so that they
can perform their tasks speedily. As the internet supported digital communities
are growing continuously and they present the national government with various
challenges and new opportunities.
E-governance that
is generally known as electronic governance, it is mainly the functional
operation of Information and Communication Technology, which processes the
government functioning in order to achieve simplicity, morality,
accountability, responsibility, and transparency in the Indian government.
Basically, it
involves the use of Information and Communication Technologies by all the
Indian government organizations with citizens, business groups and other
government officials. E-governance improves internal efficiency, reduces cost,
restructures the administrative process and provides a better quality of
services.
Origin of E-governance
In very little time
e-governance has earned more popularity in the business sector. Many business
tycoons have described e-governance as the most important business activity in
the business field. E-governance system in India is the application of
Information and Communication Technologies and is established with the single
and prior motive to facilitate the life of every citizen. The primary objective
of the e-governance is to bring transparency in the government system and its
officials. Transparency is the major thing that helps in governing the country
in a good manner. There should be a good administration in the country because
it plays an effective role in achieving the goals and objectives of the
country. A good administration helps in governing the country in a very best
manner. It also helps in fulfilling all the major needs of every countryman.
But today we cannot achieve good governance without the best e-governance the system in India. So we can say clearly the e-governance is the key to good
governance.
Advantages of E-governance system in India
There are various
advantages we are getting with the e-governance system in India. And to deeply
understand the positive effects of e-governance we should go through one by
one.
1. Transparency between government and its citizens:
As
e-governance is introduced in India and because of the e-governance, there is
transparency between, the Indian government and its citizens. Now any
countryman can easily know what is his government doing for him? And this
transparency is good for the future of India. The transparency between
government officials and citizens also forms a different kind of relationship.
2. Easy communication:
As the term suggests that it is electronic
governance, and after adding the world electronically, it gives speed in
sending and receiving messages. Now it is very easy in implementing the new
laws and schemes. Any citizen can reach to his government very easily, and a
better communication system creates a better belief system.
3. Reduces distances between officials and citizens:
E-governance
helps in reducing the distance between government officials and citizens. Now,
everything is online and this reduces the time and distance between a
particular government office and a citizen. Now everything is on the internet
and you can know everything about your government, its projects, schemes,
decisions and many more. In a very simple way, you can keep surveillance on
your government.
4. Makes the government more accountable:
Today the Indian
government is more accountable towards his public because the public is
watching each and every single step of his government.
5. Formation of a Belief system:
There should be a
proper belief system between the government and the public to better govern the
nation. The belief system is the key to good governance for the good future of
the government. If the public has faith in his government, then there will be peace
in the nation and vice-versa.
