Question

Explain the different e-governance models being used in india

Answer 1

E-governance is the application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in governance functioning. This is far beyond than mere computerisation and implies fundamental change in the way government operates. According to the World bank “E-Government is 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.”

There are five models of e-governance as given by Prof Dr. Arie Halachimi which can be used as a guide in designing e-government initiative depending on local situation and governance activities that are expected to be delivered.
they are as follows:-
1. Broadcasting Model
2.The Critical flow Model
3.Comparative Analysis Model
4.  E-Advocacy Model
5. The Interactive Service Model
