Ten years back I use to get excited by seeing mobile phones
on people’s hand and I wondered that wow! What a device that connects people to
another staying at a distance without any wire and It was my dream that someday
I will also own a mobile phone. But today I have a smartphone which is much more than a simple
mobile phone with which I can make calls, video calls, browse the internet ,
click pictures, videos and I can do much more stuffs on it. Remember the day
when we use to stand in queue the entire day just to pay bills, buy tickets or
to fill any government’s form but now we can do all these stuffs from our home
using internet. We can now compare that how e-governance and technologies has
made our life better, easier and much transparency on accountability .
The main motive of the e-governance is to provide it’s
service and make people to have access to government at each and every part of
the nation so that none of us would left behind from getting the government’
service .
Bellow here are my few opinions to spread e-governance more
effectively and efficiently.
IT EDUCATION
As we improve our technologies, infrastructure and we
implement more with technologies such as computers and internet then it becomes
necessary to spread IT education among the people of the nation . Government
should focus more on IT education starting from primary schools to higher
secondary and it is also necessary to organize local IT education camps within
panchyat and remote areas to provide basic knowledge of computer and internet
among the people who are not aware of these things so that each and every
people in nation will understand how to use the services of e-governance from
their home and they will not get cheated by fraud and private agencies who tend
to provide government’s services by taking some fees .
AVAILABILITY OF CONNECTIVITY
E-governance is worthless without the availability of
connectivity and transmission media at every corner of the nation .There are so
many villages and remote areas in India who has not seen the faces of Internet
yet . The government should lay broadband cables and other media to make available of internet services among these areas so that the people can access
to the government’s services from those area. India have big problem of poor connectivity
and price hikes by the privates MNC’s on internet accessibility which becomes
tougher for middle class people to afford it’s costs. People believe more on
government’s organization than these private companies who charges extra for
these services . If government can
provide better services on accessibility the people will not rely on the
private companies anymore .
GOVERNMENT IT SECTORS
Yet the day, the e-governance are working fine but sometime
these services becomes poor because the government’s technical and IT sectors
are poorly managed as they lacks technical staffs hence the government hand
over the portals to private organization to manage the services. So it is
necessary that as the government will provide e-governance then it having some
specialized staffs to manages those portals so the services will never go down
as well as it will also increase the employment in government .IT sectors .
CYBER SECURITY
The e-governance is completely dependent on the internet which includes online financial transactions,
transfer of high sensitive personal and corporate data , highly valued database
etc and much more, so it is more important to secure the cyber spaces and
protect the public’s as well as government’s data. People enters their personal
data as well as monetary information by keeping faith in the services of
e-governance , If the security is breached then the people will lose trust on
e-governance’s services. The government need to hire ethical hacker and
security professionals who will think like the malicious hackers to safeguard
the precious data and improve online security .
DEVELOPMENT OF APPS
Now a days smartphones are being widely used more than
computers to get accessibility and stay in touch with each other via internet and it is said that India has more smartphones
than computers , so no doubt that each and every people have not their own
computers to access the services of e-governance but they have smartphones on
almost every house and people are so familiar using the apps , so the
government needs to implement e-governance via mobile phone’s apps so that each
and every common people can get the services of e-governance .
ALL IDENTITY WITH ONE NUMBER
Mobile phones has become most necessary in our daily life ,
a mobile number is indeed an identity of a person but we can use this number as
more than identity to bring portability and flexibility in our daily life
activities . Suppose we go at some places where we need a bunch of identity
cards and other documents to prove who we are where do we stay which becomes
very rigid process at some moment and situations . So let the government use
our mobile number with a unique code which will retrieve all our details , so whenever
we need to verify our identity then we just need to enter our mobile phone
number with an unique code . We can use this method at many places such as at
banking transactions where we will not need any card, in purchase or sales and
at many other places where we need to prove ourselves in a quick .
INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructure is the root of nation’s development , and a nation
cannot be said as developed or improved without an improved infrastructure. Let
it be the development of information technology , then the nation need some of
the required resources to carry out the activities for the aimed target of
development . It is 2015 but there are
many places in India where there is no electricity and required transport which
are the basic needs for development of any sectors of a nation. People need to
draw government’s attention towards these places where people are very needy
for these basic amenities and when they
will see the flexible services of e-governance then no one would leave behind from
using the services of e-governance .
Final words…
Every people in this country need the services of government
but it becomes hard to reach all government’s service up to them because of many reasons behind it but e-governance is
one unique platform which can make the reach of government’s service to public and vice verse smoothly efficiently
and effectively . But for this the government need to aware people and make them familiar about the e-governance , how does it works via
different mean and methods . It should be
not only to provide the pre-implemented services but it should have a great
option to interact with general public to get their opinions , feedback and
their requests to make a better governance that will build a developed nation.
