Overcoming the Challenges in implementing e-Governance in Rural India

Abstract

To ensure the availability of e-governance to the rural masses is the need of hour for a country like India, where a majority of population lives in rural area. Use of ICT facilities plays a key role in e-governance and is becoming indispensable. Here we try to highlight the Challenges related to implementation of e-Governance in India. E-governance aims at providing information and services to the citizens. It also helps them in decision making process, to make government more accountable, transparent and effective. Effective implementations can take ICT to the Indian citizens and can help government to align their services with the changing needs of stakeholders and Indian citizens to develop the economy. Here we also consider various e-governance projects started by the Government and initiatives that should be taken by the Government for successful implementation of e-governance in rural India.
