With the advent of internet, secured access, broadband and other related technologies e-government applications have become a reality. With these and higher end applications government agencies can cater and interact with more people in shorter time, lesser costs, and higher effectiveness. Various International organizations have made significant investments in developing efficient e-governance across the world. To understand the potential of e-Governance and its importance look at the following facts:

• For the National e-Governance Action Plan, the World Bank is considering a Indian Rupees 250000 million financial assistance
• The Government of India announced in 2005 a budget of Indian Rupees 124000 million for e-governance

The government of India is engaging in e-Governance for reaping the benefits of:

• Improving transparency in the government operations
• Improving interaction between people and the government
• Providing speedy services to Indian citizens wherever possible
• Improving administration efficiency in all its departments
• Improving public services, e.g. transportation, power, health, tax, etc.
