INTRODUCTION

The term E-government is the use of ICT to promote more efficient and effective government and facilitate more accessible government services. It permits greater network of information and makes government more accountable to citizens, constitutes a subject of e-governance and it might involve delivery services to citizens by using ICT. In other words e-government leads to e-governance, which is a wide concept and includes the use of ICT by government and basic societies to promote greater interest of citizens in the governance of political associations. E-governance means use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in government agencies, open sector and beyond, to enhance governance, improved interactions with business and industry. The fact is to redefine governance in the ICT age to provide, simple, great, accountable, responsive and transparent (SMART) governance. The resulting benefits can be less defilement, greater convenience, revenue development and cost reduction. 3 E-governance can move the nature and structure of government. Thusly, e-governance is being considered as powerful instrument, which deals with the problems facing the governance system in the developing countries. At the administrative level, E-governance offers a chance to governments to embrace certain new value suggestions of the Internet age thereby realizing paradigmatic move in government. E-governance has introduced new language into the

discipline of Public administration. Not simply that it has likewise provided new theoretical models and established linkages between different disciplines. E-governance strengthens responsibility, increase transparency, improve efficiency, and check defilement. To spread it out evidently, it means taking the government to the doorstep of the people. At the service level, E-governance provides transparent, responsive and speedy services to the citizens. It has been offering opportunities to the citizens to communicate with government; effectively participate in the strategy making and faster correspondence between citizens. E-governance is changing relationship by presenting ICT in their governance system and breaking down authoritative boundaries and encouraging democratic processes. E-Government for Better Government

E- Government is expected to improve the limit of open administration and its relationship to the general populace. Fortunately information and correspondence technology (ICT) offers a variety of instruments to meet the promise of e-government. The terrible news is that the reality has not yet discovered the promise. To date, the best approach to deal with e-government has over and over been driven by ICT arrangements instead of user demand. While this has been effective for putting services online, it has led to a proliferation of websites, entrances and electronic services that are incompatible, befuddling and overlapping… not This report takes a gander at new reasoning and practice in OECD countries in five different areas: User-focused e-government: making electronic services more responsive to the needs of citizens and businesses; Multi-channel service delivery: improving connections between conventional and electronic services in order to promote service advancement and ensure access for all users; Approaches to ordinary business processes: identifying regular processes inside government to achieve economies of scale, reduce duplication and provide seamless services; The business case for e-government: measuring and demonstrating the expenses and benefits of ICT investments in order to prioritize and better manage e-government projects; E-government co-appointment: conveying a whole-of-government perspective to e-government initiatives and their management, while considering existing structures and cultures of government establishments.

Comparing e-Government with e-Governance

The external offerings of e-government and e-Governance started with making arrangement documents available electronically. Both "remain along" studies and on-going series (newsletters, press releases, etc.) were posted and could be printed out as printed versions or stored electronically by whoever in people in general was accessing them. The second phase of electronic items and services consisted of on-line electronic structures, either to exchange information (census structures, etc.) or to direct exchanges (purchase documents, pay user fees, submit government structures, etc.). The third phase, presently essentially emerging, involves counsel on issues of concern, and backing in arrangement making and regulatory administration.

E-government as better public service

The observation has become widespread among government experts that people in general expects more and more in terms of service coverage and customization, while at the same time expecting to save money and less for such services in terms of unit costs (and the aggregate assessment bill). This consideration is behind the decision to put an increasing extent of government documents on-line - electronic course places the expense of paper and engraving on the consumer rather than the supplier, and because of government documents this records document than to print and mail out the same information. Electronic structures are likewise premised on lower expenses and more convenience. Numerous locales enable driver's licenses to be applied for, or renewed on-line. Use of such things as freely provided recreational facilities can likewise be booked (reservations) and paid for (user fees) by means of government Internet websites. Even when some sorts of special reports are made available on-line, access to them may regardless be by membership or single payment. Establishment budgetary documents, expert studies, or reports from commissions of enquiry may all have charges attached to them, depending on the government's dissemination arrangement and the expenses of preparing the documents.

DATA TECHNOLOGY POLICY OF HARYANA GOVERNMENT

Information Technology is a key driver of an increasingly knowledge based worldwide economy. Given its current worldwide circumstance in the IT sector, India is well positioned to enhance and leverage its IT capabilities towards this end. Technology has transformational power and it goes about as a great leveler of chance inside and across economies. Recognizing this potential of IT, several economies in the Asia Pacific region have invested in infrastructure and adopted proactive policies to foster selection of IT pervasively. Consequently their economies have experienced significantly faster and more equitable development and their development indices have moved up rapidly. Emerging technology trends will make it possible for some citizens to access services electronically in self-service mode using mobile phones and the Internet or through assisted service focuses, for example, Common Services Centers etc. This objective is made possible through pervasive network connectivity based on mobile technology, broadband Internet, fiber penetration to all villages and software arrangements, which enable electronic access to services including e-payments. In keeping with these trends, governments at all levels in the country are aggressively receiving governance to improve accessibility, transparency and efficiency.
