functioning with the application of ICT (Information and
Communications Technology).
• It involves digitizing and automating various government
activities, such as service delivery, communication, decision-
making, and citizen engagement.
• E-Governance aims to improve the efficiency, transparency,
accessibility, and accountability of government services and
interactions with citizens.
• It involves using online platforms, digital systems, and
databases to streamline government processes, enhance
public service delivery, and facilitate citizen participation.
• E-Governance initiatives can include online portals, digital
identity systems, electronic voting, e-taxation, online
