In this comprehensive exploration, Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan discusses the transformative potential of e-governance in enhancing democratic processes and governance quality. He highlights successful implementations of ICT in governance, which have empowered citizens and improved transparency and accountability. However, Narayan also addresses the challenges posed by the digital divide and emphasizes the need for e-governance to enhance individual liberty and facilitate conditions for potential realization. He proposes that e-governance should support decentralization, protect privacy, and ensure that technology serves to strengthen, not undermine, democratic institutions and processes.
