AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT, MODEL, INITIATIVES, AND CHALLENGES OF E-GOVERNANCE IN INDIA TO ACHIEVE GOOD GOVERNANCE

Abstract

This article aims to explore whether E-governance can significantly contribute to the practical and “sustainable deployment of Good Governance in India.” It is a critical review and opinion piece. The article tries to describe e-governance from a domestic and global standpoint. Additionally, it attempts to explain the main obstacles to India's adoption of e-governance. Additionally, it makes several assumptions about the victory of e-governance, particularly in the Indian setting. It begins with an explanation of e-governance, followed by a generic e-governance model, case studies, and examples. The study is centred on a thorough analysis of “secondary data gathered from government websites, national and international journals and articles, publications, conference papers, government reports, newspapers, and magazines covering various governance-related topics.” The quality, efficacy, and efficiency of governance have all been shown to shift dramatically due to e-governance. The Indian government is working hard to use e-government to provide services to its people. All components of good governance are fostered by using ICT in governance or e-governance. We might infer that e-governance is essential to ―Good Governance‖ in emerging nations like India since it reduces corruption and offers people high-quality, efficient services. E-governance improves service quality, speed, accountability, transparency, and democratic involvement. Nonetheless, an atmosphere must be created for e-government to be implemented in India effectively. The current study offers a foundation for future research to improve e-governance development approaches and address obstacles to successful e-governance deployments.
