eGovernance in IndiaEvolved from computerization of Government
Departments to initiatives that encapsulate the finer points of Governance, such as citizen centricity, service orientation and transparency.
National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), takes a holistic view of e-Governance initiatives across the country, integrating them into a collective vision, a shared cause.
The Government approved the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), comprising of 27 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs)and 8 components, on May 18, 2006

Back Grounde‐Governance has emerged as a popular
phenomenon to deliver government services around the world.
e‐Governance in an implementation sense is restricted primarily to the use of computer based internet access to deliver services.
In countries where the penetration of computers and internet is relatively low, such as in India, there is an apprehension that the reach of e‐Governance may be limited.
Potential of Mobile GovernanceMobile phones have tremendous potential to expand
the access to and reach of public services in India.The growth of mobile phone subscribers in India
over the last decade has been explosive.Owning a mobile phone was viewed as a luxury , the
scenario has completely changed now with over 750 million mobile phones subscribers in the country as on 31 December 2010.
Introduction of 3G services in the country is expected to give a further boost to mobile phone penetration and the usage of internet on these devices.
M-Governance is not a replacement for e-Governance; rather it complements e-Governance
