Both at the central and state levels administration of India has actualized various ICT (Information and Communication Technology) activities under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP). The objective of NeGP to most extreme utilization of government services accessible to residents of India by means of electronic media in simplest and most ideal way. To build the quantity of e-exchanges in the nation, proficient administration conveyance to the natives, re-utilization of uses, making ideal utilization of existing foundation, reception of cloud based e-Governance is the main arrangement, accordingly accomplishing a definitive objective of NeGP. Distributed computing is the most recent propelled development in figuring, distributed computing assets are accessible at whatever point required and charges depends on the amount you utilize them. Broad distributed computing is just conceivable by the Internet, and this is the most widely recognized method for getting to cloud assets. The primary plan to think about on this is the means by which to keep up information in advanced arrangement with secure spot and usage in future for investigation and improvement at whatever time anyplace with least assets. It expects to convey more intuitive i.e. administrations to subjects and organizations through E-Governance. For this, distributed computing might prompt huge cost reserve funds and dependable method for information exchange. It involves use over the Internet of processing equipment and programming base and applications that are remotely facilitated.

Governments are being transformed at every level due to advances in technology and innovative programs that open vast opportunities for delivery of public services, interact with citizens and business, and promote democracy. Part of the "Global e-Governance" series, this title focuses on advancing e-governance through innovation and leadership

International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications(IJACSA), 4(2), 2013 ; Information and Communication Technology today has become an indispensable part in our lives, gaining wide application in human activities. This is due to the fact that, its use is less expensive, more secure, and allows speedy information transmission and access. It serves as a good base for the development and success of today's relatively young technologies. It has relieved people of manual day-to-day activities in such areas as businesses organizations, transport industry, teaching and research, banking, broadcasting, entertainment amongst other. This paper takes an overview study of e-governance, one of the most demanding applications of information and communication technology for public services.

Governance is the movement of governing. It relates to decisions that deϐine expectations, grant power, or verify performance. It consists either of a separate process or of a speciϐic part of management or leadership processes. Sometimes people set up a government to administer these processes and systems. In terms of distinguishing the term governance from government - "governance" is what a "government" does. It might be a geopolitical government (nation-state), a corporate government (business entity), a socio-political government (tribe, family, etc.), or any number of different kinds of government. But governance is the kinetic exercise of management power and policy, while government is the instrument (usually, collective) that does it. The term government is also used more abstractly as a synonym for governance. Awarded for Best e-Governance, Gujarat is a frontline State in the implementation of e-governance policies & projects and setting up of key infrastructure for E Governance. Gujarat Government focuses on growth and development of new & emerging technology areas. It has been increasingly using the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to offer citizen based service as per convenient location with an initiative to improve the reach, make services more transparent and reduce response time with reducing costs. The Government is also pro active in its Initiatives and ranks ϐirst state in the country to have made e-Governance functional in all its Municipalities and Municipal Corporations.

Globally, the electronic transactions have increased over the past years. In order to reinstitute the democracy to its veracious connotation with the help of improvisation of the participation of the citizen in the governing process by giving feedback and access to information and overall participation of the citizen in the decision making, the e-governance has become the need of the hour. It has enabled the citizens to know and be updated with the government's policies. In a country with the largest population, it is difficult for the government to reach out to every individual, hence, the technology driven government is a momentous. E-governance helps in providing an access to Government information and services to the public and other agencies in an efficient, transparent and cost-effective way. Furthermore, the National E-Governance Plan vision to: "Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man" have not only made the government information and services accessible to common man but has also increased transparency and accountability. Due to limited financial resources and lack of legal and technical infrastructure, E-governance has posed challenges. The purpose of this paper is to provide the gist of E-governance by providing an overview of the E-governance along with its objectives, stages, advantages & disadvantages, challenges and strategies for the effective implementation of E-governance. Furthermore, it will analyse the National E-Governance Plan.

Much has been written about the applications of the advances in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to the field of Governance or public management. This application of ICT has brought about a new ray of hope, that of the potential benefits accruing out of these applications. India, even while carrying on with its stiff bureaucracy and a rigid governance structure, has been strangely at the forefront of this new development, especially among the South Asia nations. This paper attempts to showcase some projects that have taken off in the area of e-governance in India in the past few years. It not only analyses projects that have won accolades in the world forum but also smaller and relatively unsung initiatives that deserve attention at the both national and international levels. An attempt is made to address issues particularly relevant to Indian e-governance scenario, like relevant barriers, digital divide and above all implementation issues and challenges. This paper seeks to put in perspective the relatively less prominent issues such as paucity of multilingual content, standoff/stand-alone experimentation, and advocates the greater role for use of Open Source software in this arena.

E-governance affects every citizen. New information and communication technologies (ICTs) have made public services easier to access and information easier to obtain; fines and taxes can be processed more rapidly and votes can be counted faster. Channeling the potential of ICTs in the public sector has affected how states, and governments at all levels, do business. It will inevitably shape how they will continue to change in the future.This book has grown out of an executive training program, leading to an Executive Master's degree in e-governance, from Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Participants in this Master's program came from all over the world; from government, the private sector and non-governmental organizations. They were all interested in electronic governance and motivated by the desire to learn from the numerous and varied e-governance experiences worldwide. The 12 chapters have been written by 10 participants, one manager and one professor involved in the program. The book is divided into four sections: e-governance visions; local e-governance; transversal e-governance issues and the future of e-governance.E-governance has already led to many significant changes in the way society operates, and this book provides some insight into how this has been achieved, as well as taking a look at the further developments which may happen in the future.
