ell us about the major changes that you have witnessed in last few years in e-Governance in India?

The last six years in e-Governance has seen the transformation of a lot of intent and objectives into action. And these were then, translated into projects grounded in technology. This could be said a version 1.0 of projects in e-governance in India. These were the first few projects on e-Governance that made impact on the citizens and users. This version brought-in a lot of learning for the corporate, government and citizens at large. This was followed by the second wave of projects under version 2.0 that was realised through more of pubic private partnerships - and the learning from 1.0 were put to use for more significant impact on the end users. Currently, we are the doorstep of e-Governance 3.0 wherein we are witnessing latest forms of technology or I would call them ‘new building blocks’ that are taking centre-stage in the citizen-centric service delivery systems of the government. Today, even the difficult states in the North-East are techno- hungry and very techno-willing to have technology-based service delivery models for their denizens. We ourselves have made some significant success in our low-cost ATMs in these states and have been extremely successful in catering to the diverse terrain conditions that are geographically dispersed areas.

These citizen identification-based technology and systems are bound to have colossal effect and will see arrival of numerous citizen-centric services built around them in the coming years with long and sustainable impact on ground. There are exciting times ahead as the impact on the end user and end consumers would be far more significant in the coming years of e-governance ecosystems than in the earlier versions. Therefore if we assess the impact of e-Governance in the past projects it has shown consistent increase in its reach, efficiency and technology advancement.
