| ILLUSTRATED USING BITSTRIPS |
HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS A REALISTIC APPROACH?
-E-government as of today is merely impossible to balance across the globe as not
everyone has the Internet access and computing skills, therefore I strongly
support making internet cheap and accessible to a layman to make it common
among the masses and should also initiate plans to make the use of computerizing
and free crash courses in backward areas.
-E-government wants to see Government services accessible every common man in his locality,
through common service delivery outlets, and ensures efficiency, transparency,
and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realize the basic needs
of the common man.
SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE NATIONAL E-GOVERNANCE PLAN.
-The main motive of the
National e-Governance Plan is to get the public services closer home to all citizens,
as in the Vision Statement of NeGP.
-The 31 Mission Mode Projects under the National e-Governance Plan are the vehicles for Electronic Service Delivery.
-The E-government applications that have been implemented are targeted towards providing the following with emphasis on use of local language.

In my opinion Technology has the power to make India Digitized. This is only possible if we take the initiative to teach one another and make the masses aware of this very useful facility.
Intel is committed towards our government's vision of a Digital India. Over its ‘Digital Skills for India’ and ‘Innovate for India’ drives, Intel has been encouraging technology as the enabler for built a digitized India.
In 2014, Intel to support Government’s Digital India vision for better governance, the chip makers’s Indian counterpart, Intel India has launched today its ‘Digital Skills for India’ Program. Through the program, Intel India in associations with the government to impact 5 million Indian citizens by the end of 2015 with skills to compete in the global digital economy.
As part of digital India initiative, Intel India also started the Digital Skills Training Application comprising of modules on Financial Inclusion, Healthcare, Digital Literacy and Cleanliness in 5 different Indian languages. This application is absolutely free of cost and available for download on Android Play Store.
Intel believes that technology has the ability to change lives and impact livelihoods and has digitally empowered Indian citizens through its various initiatives like Intel Teach Program which has trained 18 lakh teachers across India, or the Intel Learn Program which has reached almost 1.8 lakh undeserved students and the Intel Higher Education Program which has reached almost 2.35 lakh students and 4500 faculty members. In order to spread digital literacy for all, through the Intel Learn Easy Steps digital literacy training; Intel had launched 'National Digital Literacy Mission' in 2012 and under this program has reached 38 lakh citizens.
Social Media: Facebook, twitter, You tube etc and so many platforms who are the center of the society today. These platforms count to be the most effective ways to spread the word and encourage using and support E-governance.
Education: Free crash courses on basic computer knowledge and use of internet can help us envision a brighter future. Digitization can make our lives better and future easier.
Free Wifi: Am I asking for too much? I am sure this will be hard, but there is no harm in trying to have this planned.
Technology today has a vast collection of techniques to accomplish our objective to digital India and since every opinion matters; I asked my colleagues, family members and neighbors for their thoughts on how E-governance through technology can accelerate this vision of a digital India?
Here is what each one had to say.

CONSTANCE (My Father) Says: ''We should gather for a meeting in our colony and someone who is an expert in this should help us understand and explain the importance and efficiency of e-governance. I am sure this makes us more knowledgeable and then each one of us can spread the work and teach each other in our extended families, offices etc. Some Demos or PPT would be a great medium''.  BETSY (My Mother) Says: ''Television, the news channel should schedule a forum explaining the ease of usage of the E-Governance portal. I am sure many of us who watch T.V can take some time out to watch this''. |
RASHI (My cute neighbor): She was just happy to support the cause or hold that piece of paper and pose for the camera. Kids these days are very smart. They should be educated on such topics right from the beginning in schools and colleges. After all, they are our future.
FRANK (My Boyfriend) says: "We have smart people and smart phones; it would be great to have an application on our android, windows, iOS phones which we can use on the go. Handling and managing things like Tax collection, issuing birth certificates other government related information and using other facilities will be a piece of cake''.
PRANALI (My Colleague) says: ''My kids always tell me about E-governance. But I do not have access at home because we do not have a computer and manly internet. Government should help us with Free laptops or computer in every home or us with heavy discount on these gadgets . We can then make a digital India Possible''. (Translated from Marathi)
RIYA (My neighbor): I asked Riya Who is in the 7th grade, WHAT IS GOVERNMENT? She replied ''Politics'', Ha Ha! She asked me again if she was right and I said not even close. But soon later she asked me what is it? Tell me more? And I was surprised. I strongly believe that kid are really interested to know more, the younger they are the most curious! Therefore I strongly recommend that schools and other educational institute should have a dedicated subject to explore more of the technology available today.
