DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT OF E-GOVERNANCE

Abstract

e-Governance is a paradigm shift for government to citizen services. Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) and Development are closely related, and absence of the former can hinder the development process of
the country. E-Governance projects are implemented for different Departments across the Country. The question
remains as to whether these projects achieved the desired objectives. In this study, an attempt is made to analyze the eGovernance projects in Kolasib District of Mizoram, India. This paper also examined the challenges related to the
implementation of e-Governance projects in Kolasib District. Data collections of the study include Observation,
Interviews, Government Records, Acts, Orders, Rules, and Regulations. The findings of this study indicated that
availability and proper functioning of the projects, e-readiness among the government employees as well as the people
will have a positive impact on the development process.
