AN INTRODUCTION TO E-GOVERNANCE

E-Governance refers to the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) to

improve the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of government.

E-Government can be seen simply as moving citizen services online, but in its broadest sense it

refers to the technology-enabled transformation of government - governments’ best hope to

reduce costs, whilst promoting economic development, increasing transparency in government,

improving service delivery and public administration, and facilitating the advancement of an

information society.

Reducing Costs: Putting services on-line substantially decreases the processing costs of

many activities compared with the manual way of handling operations. Efficiency is alsoattained by streamlining internal processes and by enabling faster and more informed

decision making.

Promoting Economic development - Technology enables governments to create

positive business climates by simplifying relationships with businesses and reducing the

administrative steps needed to comply with regulatory obligations. There is a direct

impact on the economy, as in the case of e-procurement, which creates wider competition

and more participants in the public sector marketplace.

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability: E-Government helps to increase the

transparency of decision-making processes by making information accessible -

publishing government debates and minutes, budgets and expenditure statements,outcomes and rationales for key decisions, and in some cases, allowing the on-line

tracking of applications on the web by the public and press.

Improving Service Delivery: government service delivery, in the traditional process, is

time consuming, lacks transparency, and leads to citizen and business dissatisfaction. By

putting government services online, eGovernment reduces bureaucracy and enhances the

quality of services in terms of time, content and accessibility.

Improving Public Administration- e-government administrative components, such as a

computerized treasury, integrated financial management information systems, and human

resource management systems, lead to greater efficiency in public administration.

Features include the integration of expenditure and receipt data, control of expenditure,

human resources management, intelligent audit through data analysis and the publishing

of financial data.

Facilitating an e-Society: One of the main benefits of an eGovernment initiative consists

of the promotion of ICT use in other sectors. The technological and management

capacities required for eGovernment administration encourage, in turn, the development




of new training courses and modules in schools and universities trying to supply the

required skills and capabilities to the market

E-Government usually describes relationships across 3 modalities:

1. Government to Citizen: deals with the relationship between government and citizens. G2C

allows citizens to access government information and services instantly, conveniently, from

everywhere, by use of multiple channels.

2. Government to Business: consists of e-interactions between government and the private

sector. The opportunity to conduct online transactions with government reduces red tape and

simplifies regulatory processes, therefore helping businesses to become more competitive.

3. Government to Government: Governments depend on other levels of government within the

state to effectively deliver services and allocate responsibilities. In promoting citizen-centricservice, a single access point to government is the ultimate goal, for which cooperation among

different governmental departments and agencies is necessary. G2G facilitates the sharing of

databases, resources and capabilities, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of processes.

National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) has been approved by the Government of India for

implementation during the years 2003-2007 to lay foundation and provide impetus to e-

Governance throughout the Country. The Plan advocates definition of institutional mechanisms

and core policies for managing e-governance initiatives across the Country in a cohesive manner

and entails that services, having high volume of citizen interactions, with major impact on

National and Regional economies or where service-owners themselves show readiness to

optimize, be targeted as Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) at various levels.

Further, by providing appropriate weightage to quality and speed of optimization

and by utilizing full potential of private sector involvement, NeGP aims at creating a citizen-

centric and business-centric environment for governance. However, it was observed that most

States were inadequately equipped in terms of personnel and skill-sets needed to handle the host

of issues involved in effective implementation of NeGP in their respective areas. State

Governments needed to provide for overall direction, standardization and consistency across

initiatives and at the same time, were to have resources and flexibility to drive the Plan in the

best-possible manner.




THE e-GOVERNANCE VISION OF ODISHA.

1. Localize implementation and decision-making and deploy the core infrastructure

to deliver services to the Third Tier of Governance2. Manage all ICT initiatives as “capital investments” which can be evaluated in

terms of pre-defined goals and measurable targets

3. Make various stakeholders capable of conceptualizing, developing and managing

e-Governance tools themselves

4. Aim at service-oriented approach of Governance and create an integrated,

modular and scalable framework to become more adaptive

5. Utilize policies, structures and frameworks to bring about transparency in various

government functions.

The e-GOVERNANCE STRATEGYThe e-Governance Strategy for Orissa outlines the initiatives eGov projects to be

undertaken across the State. It also defines an internally consistent set of options to lead to

realization of State’s e-Governance Vision.

For Orissa, 14 Sectors have been identified as MMPs based on socio-economic need

analysis, development & Governance priorities, political Vision, perceived benefits to citizens &

revenue generation potentials, e-readiness & level of automation and in alignment with NeGP.

EGOV ENGG WATCH CAMPUS INITATIVE.

e- Governance programmes initiated by the Government of India and duly implemented

by the state Government and various line agencies like NIC, Engineering Watch is working

towards ‘eGov Campus’- an initiative to create eGov cells on selected Engineering Campusesacross the country which would undertake various Research& Extension Projects in the domain

of e-Governance in close coordination with various Government agencies.

The aim of the “eGov Campus” initiated by Enggwatch, one of the India’s prestigious

magazines is as follows:

To engage the students to understand the economic and technical potential of eGov

projects in their campus.

This provide a unique platform for students, faculties and staffs to show their

innovative ideas on eGov campus initiatives.

This will help in connecting a eGov project to the engineering campuses.

This will acts as an initiatives to establish a good governance.

Understand and apply e-Government concepts, strategies, regulatory frameworks,

policies and practice them through ICT-enabled services.

Identify the challenges of achieving effective e-engagement and strategies for

overcoming the problems during implementation.

Being a eGov campus gives an opportunity to a college to get in sync with the various

industrious and government entities, which benefits the people of our country.

So the development of the concept of progressive education in India will be automatically

achieved and finally it will help in increase the economy of the country.

ABOUT THE COLLEGE.

Orissa Engineering College (OEC) is the first private engineering college to be

established in Odisha. It was set up way back in 1986 when the concept of private education was

yet to be understood by people. Orissa Engineering College is the result of the vision of Late ShriKamini Kanta Patnaik, who laid the foundation of what is today one of the best technical

institutes in the state & the Country. OEC is a part of Nabajyoti Charitable Trust’s Endeavour to

provide quality education. The college was started with an aim to provide quality technical

education to a wider domain of illustrious students of the state of Odisha in particular and the

nation in general. Orissa Engineering College is affiliated to the Biju Patnaik University of

Technology and has been approved by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education).

OEC today is recognized as a unique campus in our country with

extraordinary potential for development of indigenous technology and its engineering industries.Bringing the spark of knowledge to young minds and rapidly inculcating confidence, its main

aim is to ascertain students’ perception of a quality experience in higher education.

PROJECT STATUS

Final year project is a key gateway for the students to understand the requirements and

feel the nuances of the larger domain in the Campus. All the students of our Final Year (CS & ITDepartments) are doing their final projects on different domains such as : JAVA, J2EE, PHP,

ORACLE, C & C++ and LINUX etc.. Apart from the requirement of the curriculum, we are

enabling the students to gain the knowledge about the latest technologies so that they can be

flexible enough to be involved in various development teams and make themselves up-to-date

with the real time projects.

Generally our students are developing the projects based on some real live

implementations of day to day applications. The total student strength of CSE and IT is 240 and

they are involved in various projects in their preferred platforms.

After the eGov campus initiative we have tried to implement some of the

projects(the number are very less) which will be similar to the state government eGov projects.

Some projects are similar to MMP(Mission Mode projects) of other states but not yet

implemented in state of odisha. And some are even creative in its objectives and can be

considered as a eGov project.
