Abstract
“People do not need more government or less government. They need only better government; to be more precise they need better governance - Orborne and Gaebler. E-governance throughout the world has steadily evolved from computerization of Government Departments to initiatives that encapsulate the finer points of Governance, such as citizen centricity, service orientation, and transparency. Only after the Second World War, there was a paradigm shift in the role of the government. Information Technology and its evolution is the deciding factor in the later twentieth century. As all of us are aware of the fact that the technological changes have brought major changes in all aspects of human life including the governance. Good governance is guaranteed by information technology and this needs to be taken into account. Needless to say, technological innovation ought to improve the quality of human life. An orderly functioning of the society demands good governance which also ensures the implementation of effective welfare measures. Good governance promotes furtherance of democracy, openness, transparency in administration, besides enhancing citizen participation in governance and application of information and communication in public administration. Information and communication technology is very effectively employed in e-governance and therefore e-governance can be described as a vehicle of good governance. E-governance comprises the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support public services, government administration, democratic processes, and relationships among citizens, civil society, the private sector, and the state.
