Abstract:

E-Governance in India has emerged as a transformative force in public administration, leveraging digital technologies to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in service delivery. The Digital India initiative, Aadhaar-based authentication, and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) have revolutionized governance by reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies and promoting financial inclusion. This study examines the impact of key e-governance initiatives, including Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), e-District services, Digi Locker, e-Sanjeevani, and e-NAM, on citizen engagement and service accessibility. Statistical analysis highlights India's progress, with 910 million internet users, 1.38 billion Aadhaar enrolments, and over ₹30.77 lakh crore disbursed via DBT. Despite these advancements, challenges such as the digital divide, cybersecurity risks, and implementation barriers persist. The study concludes that further expansion of AI-driven governance, 5G infrastructure, and digital literacy programs is crucial for ensuring inclusive and efficient service delivery in India’s evolving e-governance ecosystem.
