The concept of e-governance is now moving towards reality for Indian citizens. The country is graduating from pilot e-governance projects to bigger Mission Mode projects. The core strategy for India is to move ahead in a systematic manner, and the approach is to achieve success step by step. The financial sector is revolutionized through ICT, but the democracy and e-voting concept is still a dream. The National e-Governance Plan (2003-2007) 1 of Indian Government seeks to lay the foundation and provide the impetus for long-term growth of e-Governance within the country. The plan seeks to create the right governance and institutional mechanisms, set up the core infrastructure and policies and implements a number of Mission Mode projects at the center, state and integrated service levels to create a citizen-centric and business-centric environment for governance. In 2005, the World Bank signaled its willingness to increase funding further (if required) for a range of e-Governance initiatives in India as part of the first phase of the country's National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) 2. Mission 2007: every village to be a knowledge centre aims to provide knowledge connectivity to every village of India by August 15, 2007, according to the policy of Indian government. The government has set this target according to national e-governance plan (2003-2007) and a National Alliance for Mission 2007 was formed in 2003. An apex committee under the Cabinet Secretary is already in place for providing the strategic direction and management oversight. Knowledge village seems to a distant dream.

Case of Gujarat interstate border check posts: e-Governance causes reduction in corruption and increase in tax revenues. In Gujarat, a team of techno-savvy bureaucrats have finally succeeded in bringing corruption under check and consequently increasing state's tax revenues through the effective usage of computers and other electronic devices at some 10 remote interstate orders check posts.

It’s a big question – “what about other states in the India for successfully implementing e-Governance projects?”
