MOBILE ENABLED GOVERNANCE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN INDIA
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
India is heading towards globalization. Its economy is growing faster than the most of any major economy in the world. The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation expects the Indian economy to grow by 7.4 percent during the course of the year. Also Indian cities are going to be the fastest growing cities in Asia over the next five years. This rapid growth in cities isn’t without its problems. This city encroachment leads to problems regarding public safety, quality of life, environmental issues, Health issues etc. And same is the case for many other cities in developing country like India. Nowadays “city re-enhancement” is a national/ major concern in India. Also National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) has been formulated by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) and Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG). Plan of the Government of India is to make all government services available to the citizens of India via electronic media. Indian Municipal Corporations/ local governments play a vital role in socio-economic growth of cities. As cities are in their continuous growing stage, it becomes difficult for local governments to meet accountability to problems they govern and be in constant communication with citizens. Mobile Communication Technology (MCT) and M-governance (e-governance through mobile) has enormous potential for city re-enhancement. M-governance is fast becoming the preferred mode of availing services by the citizens. MCT is seen as constituting great potential for development in developing countries which cannot be ignored. It is proved, that India needs to use MCT & M-governance in order to promote development. This paper attempts to explore the needs, possibilities, potential & problems of Mobile Communication Technology enabled M-governance by local government bodies in India.
