Starting 2003, a large number of initiatives have been undertaken by various State Governments and Central Government Ministries to usher in an era of e-Government. Sustained efforts have been made at multiple levels to improve the delivery of public services and simplify the process of accessing them.
e-Governance in India 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.
