Benefits Of E – Governance

“A process of reform in the way Governments work, share information, engage citizens and deliver services to external and internal clients for the benefit of both government and the clients” is termed as e-Governance. E-Governance has helped governments all over the world to bridge the gap between them and the people.

The availability of internet and modern technology such as SMS, MMS, Bluetooth, RFID and so on made the transition easy for the governments. This eventually resulted in the interaction between government and citizens, government and enterprises and between various departments within the government becoming fast, transparent, comfortable, efficient and economical. Today as soon as the government takes any important decision it is instantly passed on to the people. As a result the communication between government and the people and between various government agencies have become fast and quick. E-Governance has added more visibility and transparency to the way the government and the different government agencies work. Unlike in earlier times when everything happened behind close doors, today everything is out in the open for everyone to see.

The government can't hide since each and every action of the government is well scrutinized and judged by the people. An important advantage of e-governance is online transactions which have made it easy for people to fill forms, file tax returns and pay bills. Everything is possible with the touch of a button. Moreover, many government services that were not accessible earlier are now within reach of all sections of the society. E-governance has greatly improved the functioning of the governments. Each and every action of the government is scrutinized and analyzed by the public and therefore there is no question of laxity, carelessness, and incompetence on the part of the government being tolerated by the citizens. This has brought about remarkable change in the way government, government departments and agencies perform. With e-governance both government and the people have been able to save a lot of time, effort and money.

There are less paper works, files and hence less transaction costs.
Thus e Governance has been more beneficial to the people and has made their life easy and comfortable when it comes to interacting with government and its various agencies and departments.
