E-government in India: Opportunities and challenges

E-governance is the use of information technology to deliver public services in
a much more convenient, people-oriented, cost-effective, and altogether different and
better way. It affects an administrative body’s dealings with citizens, businesses, and
other public agencies as well as its internal business processes and employees...


challenges:
  • making a policy choice in favour of computerization to overcome radically the even if
    it requires huge investments for the purchase of hardware and software;
  • establishing complete connectivity between various ministries and departments so that
    transfer of files and papers could be done through Internet thereby choosing
    efficacious speed as an alternative to manual labour.
  • changing the mindset of the government employees who are used to working only in
    the manual mode.

Is it possible to overcome these problems using advanced technologies.........................

what about about e-democracy
