ABSTRACT
The Government of India is transcending from traditional modus operandi of governance towards technological involvement in the process of governance. By many measures, the problem of poverty is no more severe anywhere else than it is in Indian economy, which still has the world‟s largest number of poor people in a single country. Thirty-five percent of its billion plus population lives on less than US$ 1 per day and around 86 percent of Indians, more than 900 million people, manage to survive on
incomes of less than US$ 2 a day. Public administration, governed by bureaucratic structures built on rationale principles, that dominated the twentieth century, has failed to respond to the changing requirements of the present times. India has Secured 96th Position in UN „e-Government Survey- 2018‟ which made a massive leap in the performance of digital governance. E-governance is the use of ICT by the government, civil society and political institutions to engage citizens through dialogue and feedback to promote their greater participation in the process of governance of these institutions.
Thus, e-government can be viewed as a subset off e-governance, and its focus is largely on improving administrative efficiency and reducing administrative corruption. In developing countries like India, where literacy level is very low and even most of the people are living below poverty line, people are not even aware about the benefits of e-Governance activities and people do not use Information and Communication technologies to a much extent, there exist a number of problems to implement eGovernance activities.
