Good governance needs E-support at grassroot level
The induction of information technology into governance, especially at the rural level, is not an easy task due to unstructured nature of rural development, low literacy levels and reluctance to adopt information technology
GOVERNANCE ENCOMPASSES power and responsibility through various measures, for common benefit of the society. It includes formulation and implementation of policies by the governing authority for socio-economic and cultural welfare. It is defined as the manner in which ’power is exercised’ in the management of the socio-economic resources of the country. Good governance aims at provision of maximum opportunity or liberty to citizens of the present as well as greater opportunities and freedom in the future. Good governance encompasses within itself efficiency and effectiveness in decision making, decentralised management, cost effectiveness and flexibility.

For this the working atmosphere of government institutions needs a new work culture based on the principle of transparency, responsiveness, accountability and citizen friendly management.

In the era of information and communication, the key to good governance is e-governance. E-governance refers to information and communication technology enabled route to better governance. It encompasses providing connectivity, networking, and technology upgradation, selective delivery systems for information and services and a package of software solutions.

The induction of information technology into governance, especially at the rural level, is not an easy task due to unstructured nature of rural development, low literacy levels and reluctance to adopt information technology. Regional disparities which were already glaring in poverty, employment generation, literacy are widening further. E-governance will be successful only if we start to undertake due efforts to implement it in all blocks and districts and spread it to the grassroot level.
