The Government and Indian Bureaucrats need to change
their mindset and stress more upon “Outcomes and Services” rather
than mere ICT procurement. India needs a “Services-Based Approach”
that is not only Transparent, Accountable and Legal but also backed
by a more efficient and willing Government. Presently the Bureaucrats
and Government of India are in a “Resistance Mode” towards novel
and effective E-Governance Policies and Strategies and they are
merely “Computerising” traditional official functions only. This
is benefiting neither the Government nor the citizens and is
resulting in wastage of thousands of crores of public money and loans
amount of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and World Bank.
Some have even alleged that E-Delivery
of Public Services in India is missing and World Bank is
not at all interested in establishing Transparency and Accountability
in Indian NEGP. World
Bank must ensure accountability of Indian NEGP in order to
show that its Loans are actually meant for growth and development of
Indian masses rather than benefiting few Politicians and Bureaucrats
as is happening right now.
