E-governance in India has failed to make the
necessary impact. Of course, one or two e-governance initiatives of
India have been successful but in totality e-governance is a big
failure in India. This has happened because India has neither a
mandatory
legal framework for e-governance nor are there any
policies or strategies for effective e-governance. Even the proposed
draft electronic services delivery bill 2011 of India is
nothing more than legal jargon with no practical significance and
utility.
Keeping in mind the past record of India, nothing much can be expected even from the framework for citizen participation in NEGP. This is so because the citizen to government (C2G) participation in India has largely been confined to just comments giving by public with little appreciation of the same. Further, international organisations and programmes like World Bank and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have “never ensured accountability” from India while granting funds and grants.
The end result is that e-governance itself has become a source of corruption and only strong and effective laws like Jan Lokpal Bill, 2011 of India can reduce such high level corruption in India.
What failed the e-governance projects of India? Why these projects are not taking a concrete shape? What steps must be taken by Indian government to implement successful e-governance projects in India? In this interview with Praveen Dalal, Managing Partner of Perry4Law and the Leading Techno-Legal Expert of India we are exploring these issues.
