E-Governance is an opportunity to transform the corporation’s commitment to be citizen centric, provide cost-effective services and enhance governance through improved access to accurate information and transparent and responsive democratic institutions. Thus e-Governance is no longer an experiment in administrative reform but a permanent part of the governing process. For both government organizations and citizens, its advantages are far reaching in comparison to investment in establishing E-Governance.
