 Challenges for the Implementation of E-governance

Implementation of E-government project can be useful to many people and organizations to get useful government documents, statistics on the fly and can help to improve living stand of the people. However, in India, most of the government office is still uses an older method like paper and filing to store documents, so is little difficult to implement it and moreover, the following factors are challenges for government 

1. Low Literacy

Literacy is defined as the ability to read and write with understanding in any language like Gujarati, Hindi or English, etc. A person who can only read but cannot write is not classified as literate. Any formal education or minimum educational standard is not necessary to be considered literate.

2. Low Per Capita Income

Per capita income is the numerical quotient of national production by population, in monetary terms. It is a measure of the monetized production per person in an economic aggregate such as a country, not of the actual distribution of income or current net wealth in that aggregate. OR, 

Per capita income means how much each individual receives, in monetary terms, of the yearly income generated in the country. This is what each citizen is to receive if the yearly national income is divided equally among everyone. Per capita income is usually reported in units of currency per year. 

3. Limited Financial Resource

The gross domestic product is one of the primary indicators used to gauge the health of a country’s economy. It represents the total dollar value of all goods and services produced over a specific time period - you can think of it as the size of the economy. United States is having the highest GDP in the world followed by China, Japan, and Germany. India with a GDP of 1,631,970 million US $ is at rank 9th.

The Government wants to implement the e-Government System within the country. First of all, he must prepare the sufficient human resources

5. Lack of Awareness/Training

Knowledge and Training are other challenges of E-government Implementation. Before implementation of any program, training should be given to each and every staff of the department, and also training is required to all citizens of the country for the awareness of the system. Then e-government can be implemented successfully. It is necessary to implement awareness programs at the citizen level about the system and their vision of E-governance. Training will lead to the successful implementation of e-Government. Before implementing the e-Government system in the country, it will be necessary to implement the awareness.
