National e-Governance Plan - NeGP


 
 
Concept Explanation
 

National e-Governance Plan (NeGP)

The 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) in 2006. The NeGP aims at improving delivery of Government services to citizens and businesses with the following vision: “Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency & reliability of such services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man.”

Implementation, Strategy, Approach and Methodology of NeGP

Implementation of e-Governance is a very complex process mandating provisioning of hardware and software, networking, process re-engineering and management of change. Taking into account the lessons learned from previous experiences and the experience from successful e-Governance applications, the approach and methodology adopted for NeGP contains the following factors:

1. Common Support Infrastructure: NeGP implementation involves setting up of common and support IT infrastructure like State Wide Area Networks (SWANs), State Data Centres (SDCs), Common Services Centres (CSCs) and Electronic Service Delivery Gateways.

2. Governance: Satisfactory arrangements to monitor and coordinate the implementation of NeGP under the direction of competent authorities have also been put in place. The programme is also concerned with laying down standards and policy guidelines, giving technical support, doing capacity building, Research & Development, etc. DIT is required to adequately strengthen itself and various institutions like NIC, STQC, CDAC, NISG, etc., to play these roles effectively.

3. Centralized Initiative, Decentralized Implementation: e-Governance is being propagated by a centralised initiative to the extent necessary to ensure citizen-centric orientation, to realise the objective of inter-operability of various e-Governance applications and to ensure optimal usage of ICT infrastructure and resources while facilitating a decentralised implementation model. It also aims at identifying successful projects and replicating them with required customisation wherever needed.

4. Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) model is to be adopted wherever feasible to expand the resource pool without compromising on the security aspects. v. Integrative Elements: Adoption of unique identification codes for citizens, property and businesses is to be encouraged to enable integration and avoid ambiguity.
