India is the largest democratic country in the world with a population of 1.3 billion. Democracy is a type of government or political system ruled by citizens, people who are members of a society. In a democratic country, citizens hold some level of power and authority and they participate actively in the political or decision-making process of their government. Even with a backup of a powerful democracy, India ranked 81st position in the Global Corruption Perception Index for 2017 out of 180 countries conducted by Transparency International (Times of India, February 23rd 2017). Open and transparent governance is a precondition for preventing corruption. E-Governance or electronic governance is basically the application of Information and Communication Technology to the process of government functioning in order to bring about Simple, Moral, Accountable, Responsive and Transparent Governance (SMART Governance). E-Governance is being promoted in India with the motto – “Centralized Initiative, Decentralized Implementation”. Digital governance referred to information and technology for providing government services, exchange of information, transactions, integration of previously existing services and information portals. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of E-governance in India.
