There are many studies on E-governance projects and they define e-governance in different ways. E-governance is not just the “use of information and communication technology in governance” or “service delivery over internet” or “digital access to government services” bute-governance also includes the participation of public and the poor people. It creates the new interface for citizens to interact with government. It also provides the choice of place from where they want to avail government services. So, in my view, egovernance is “public participation in governance to increase the efficiency, accountability, transparency, convenience and value addition in service delivery by interacting with government through electronic platform.” World Bank defines (Asia Oceania Electronic Marketplace Association report): “E-government refers to the use by government agencies of information technologies (such as Wide Area Networks, the Internet, and mobile computing) that have the ability to transform relations with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. These technologies can serve a variety of different ends: better delivery of government services to citizens, improved interactions with business and industry, citizen empowerment through access to information, or more efficient government management. The resulting benefits can be less corruption, increased transparency, greater convenience, revenue growth, and/or cost reductions.”
