Public private Partnership and E-Government in India: Study of Selective Cases

E-Governance in India  has steadily evolved from computerization of Government Departments to initiatives that encapsulate the finer points of Governance, such as citizen centricity, service orientation and transparency. Due cognizance has been taken of the notion that to speed up e-Governance implementation across the various arms of Government at National, State, and Local levels, a programme approach needs to be adopted, guided by common vision and strategy. NeGP which was launched in 18 may 2006 takes a holistic view of e-Governance initiatives across the country, integrating them into a collective vision, a shared cause. However, E-Government initiatives in developing countries are constrained by lack of financial resources, low level of skills and capacity within governments, and the absence of incentive structures for rewarding performance. PPPs in e-government have help overcome many of these constraints, while at the same time increasing opportunities for the private sector and economic sustainability of e-Government projects. The Present Paper proposes to study the successful ‘PPP in e-Government’ projects, implemented in India, to highlight the best practices and key learning obtained from each project.
