A STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF E-

GOVERNANCE IN KERALA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO KANAYANNOOR TALUK

INTRODUCTION We are living in an IT ERA and information

revolution has far reaching impact on every dimensions of human activity.

It is the need of the time to transform and re invent the government system for rendering efficient and cost effective services

Development of the information and communication technology resulted in the evolution of a new system of governance i.e. E-GOVERNANCE.

It is the application of ICT for delivering government services

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Almost all the countries in the world implemented this system and many state governments in India including Kerala have also adopted this

Kerala adopted this in 2007

The major problem here to examine the efficiency of E-GOVERNANCE and its socio economic impact on common people and how it changed the traditional perspective of governance

OBJECTIVES TO ANALYSE THE EFFICIENCY OF E-GOVERNANCE

TO ANALYSE THE SOCIO ECONOMIC IMPACT OF E-GOVERNANCE ON COMMON PEOPLE

TO ANALYSE THE SUCCESS AND FAILURES OF E-GOVERNANCE PROJECTS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AKSHAYA PROJECT

TO EXAMINE HOW FAR CITIZEN ADMINISTRATION RELATION COULD BE IMPROVED THROUGH E-GOVERNANCE

RELEVENCE OF THE STUDY E-GOVERNANCE is an effective method to increase

the efficiency of governments .

In an IT era where internet is available at fingertips E-GOVERNANCE has very much relevance.

Kerala is the most literate state in India and it has started implementing E-GOVERNANCE through its various projects including akshaya projects.

In this circumstances its quite relevant to study the efficiency and its socio economic impact on people.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE According to the new age international

report(2010) -India ranks 77 in a list of 133 countries that have been indexed for E-governance.

-an attitudinal change, a change of mindset among political rulers, bureaucrats and the people are required to usher in this tool of modern administration.

- Computers and kiosks alone cannot do the job, though they are important. Computer literacy, access and connectivity also play a major part in the E-governance delivery system.

According to the report by Lakshmi Devasena and Punitha Lakshmi Balraj(2014,international journal of emerging trends&technology in computerscience)

-E-governance and development are seen as synonyms today

-governments are transforming from traditional service providers to e-service providers

-states like Karnataka ,Kerala ,Andhrapradesh and Tamilnadu are emerging as leaders in this field.

According to the study of research unit of centre for development studies, Thiruvananthapuram (march 2010),

-there are significant institutional issues that constrain the implementation of E-GOVERNANCE in Kerala.

-these cannot be solved completely by technological or even supply side measures.

-however alternative technology delivery or technological management strategies could be adopted.

According to the study conducted by B.R.Prasannakumar(2013)

-The aim of e-governance is to exploit power of the technologies in re-defining the government processes in an innovative manner

-the idea is to make a significant difference in the way by which the government serves the citizens

-The track record of e-government projects reveals a low success rate of 15 % in Kerala

LIMITATIONS Study is concentrated on only one area i.e. kanayannoor taluk

People are not very much aware of this programme

E-literacy is low among common people

Time period is limited
