Digital divide has started vanishing from the country, and the credit for that must also go to the myriad e-Governance initiatives that the central and state governments have launched.
The breathtaking developments in ICT have led to the creation of a global information society. Through a range of online systems, people across the globe have become interconnected and there are seminal changes in the way we live, learn, work and collaborate with each other. In such a scenario, access to solutions that can provide latest information have become potent tool for empowering the people and communities in their quest for new opportunities, dignity and a better life.
As ICT continues to come up with even more efficient streams of information and conducting business, there is the fear that the divide between haves and have-nots, within and across countries, might intensify. That is why e-Governance systems are necessary to ensure that all sections of society are able to take advantage of the better technologies as they become available. e-Governance systems, based on local languages, can be especially effective in India where large numbers of people in rural areas are not conversant with the proper usage of ICTs.
On 15th and 16th of June 2012, Elets Technomedia Pvt. Ltd., will be celebrating e-Governance by holding the eWorld Forum, 2012, at Le Méridien hotel in New Delhi. This is one of the most prestigious e-Governance events of the year, and it is primarily bolstered by the participation of eminent figures from the government, industry, academia, and the social and cultural landscape.
The June 2012 issue of eGov magazine has been designed to be a precursor to the eWorld Forum, 2012. We have interacted with a many leading stakeholders from the field of ICT to come up with opinions that provide us with a glimpse of what the discussions at the two day eWorld Forum will be like. In the pages that follow we have tried to cover the topic of almost every session that we are going to have at the eWorld Forum.
The interviews and the write-ups provide a succinct account of the views of the leading stakeholders on the various aspects of the e-Governance, which is now flowering in India and rest of the world.
