Nowadays, Governments around
the world are under the pressure from citizens and beneficiaries of the
respective schemes, to be more open and transparent in managing public funds
and deliver quality implementation of public policies. These pressures create a
demand for continuous improvements and reformation in governments policy
execution systems. As a part of that, the governments have started utilizing
Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) platforms for the
implementation of public policy programmes and schemes. The central idea to use
this ICT is to broaden the operational scope of modern public administration
and the reliability of its actions as foundations to achieve progress,
development, and good governance. So, to explore this, the Govt. of India has
also started to use ICT as a tool for the implementation of its various schemes
and projects. This implementation is not limited to the programmes of urban
areas, but the ICT approach has been also introduced in the implementation of
the public policy programmes designed for rural areas. The Ministry of Rural
Development, Govt. of India has introduced this approach for its various
schemes including Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Program (SVEP), to
effectively implement the scheme for their beneficiaries and through the medium
of scheme’s Local Self-Governing Bodies (LSGBs). The impact of this approach of
governance needs to be measured to understand whether this initiative is worthy
or not for future applications in administration and governance.
