E-Governance is based on Five principles.
1. More organized way of working – Well defined roles
2. Simplified way of working – Processes, levels, documents
3. Sustainable way of working – Not dependent on Individuals
4. Clearly defined Objectives – Spelt out at the very beginning
5. E-Gov leads to Continous Improvement and also Vice versa ie., It
should be able to adapt to changes in environment
Technology is a Enabling factor
E-Governance Project – A Case Study
The process of Registration of Births and Deaths is one of the
primary activities of the state and UT. The outputs of these
activities is the issue of Birth certificate and Death certificate.
NIC, Andaman state unit and DHS undertook a project in 2007-08
to computerize the registration process with the concept of
“Services” delivery to stakeholders including Citizens, field offices,
Head office of DHS, Other offices.
The project was named “BIRDS” – for Online web based
Registration of Birth and Deaths in the entire A & N Islands.
