e-Governance

21st century is considered to be the age of information. Internet seems to have shrunk the globe into a small village almost akin to the concept, “vasudhaiva kutumbakam” (the world is one family). The Government of India initiated National e-Governance Plan keeping in mind this ability to shrink distances especially for service of the rural people - through the internet.

The prime objective of e-Governance is to provide information to people at their doorstep. With this in mind, the Government has initiated the Mission Mode Project. Computerisation of various departments of the State and Central government and setting up of government websites in regional languages are part of this project. India Development Gateway would like to see itself as a value addition to this Mission of the government of India, in a sense, by providing useful information on the Mission Mode Project to the people in rural areas.

Through this portal the scientific advances in terms of information technology will be accessed by rural communities and utilised by them. The schemes and policies of the Government for the people is now made available in many Indian languages. This would reduce the wastages of time and money for the people who make umpteen rounds of visits to government offices for the most basic information about the most basic needs, which otherwise are out of access because of the information gap.
