13. • Establishment of nation-wide broad band
IP network, right up to the village level (by
taking care of all the requirements such as
power and bandwidth to form eIndia).
• A nation-wide unique citizen identification
mechanism (using the latest technology
such as MNIC smart cards)

15. • Step 1: Development and implementation of web services
(based on SOA – Service Oriented Architecture) for all the e-
governance applications (such as ePanchayat for Village
Panchayats, eMunicipality for Municipalities) at various tiers of
the government, as indicated.
• Step 2: Establishing web services repositories at four major
levels
a) Village level
b) District level
c) State level

The largest segment of the world’s illiterates is in India
Highest – Kerala – 90.86%
Lowest – Bihar – 47%
Computer Literacy – 20% to 30%
This is the most important deciding factor of successful e-

23. • Horizontal interactions are within the
same level whereas vertical interactions
happen between two different levels.

24. • Here the vertical interactions have a huge language barrier. There
are 22 official languages in INDIA.
Language Speak %
Hindi 25%
English 5%
State Language 85% to 90%
• So, localization of Languages is a MUST for EFFECTIVE
implementation of eINDIA.

29. • Robert Klitggard of RAND has an interesting equation
to explain corruption:
C = M+D-T
Corruption = Monopoly + Discretion - Transparency
• In India, the state holds an absolute monopoly over
most of the delivery of basic services.
• This is where e-governance can bring in radical
changes.

30. • The NCAER survey identified
Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,
Andhra Pradesh, and
Maharashtra as the leading
States in terms of "e-readiness".

31. • At the end of March 2002, in India’s 6,38,596
villages, only 4,69,000 villages have the public
telephone facility.
• Teledensity in the
– urban side is 15.2% inhabitants
– rural side only 1.5% inhabitants.
• At the end of the month July 2008, the teledensity
reaches the new peak 29.08%

33. Country Bandwidth
India 1.5 Gbps
Singapore 2.6 Gbps
S. Korea 5.4 Gbps
China 7.6 Gbps
ITU, 2001
• We have come some way since then, but it’s a
long road ahead...

34. • To win the trust of the public, a national level
security mechanism has to be instituted to
combat cyber crime.
• A body of security professionals should be
setup to respond to threats and breaches.
• Also the need for a certification authority and
a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption
system.

37. • For successful SMART eINDIA; Think Big, Start Small
and Scale Fast.
• Central and State Governments should take proactive
steps in establishing Intelligent Knowledge Management
systems.
• Meanwhile the teledensity and the bandwidth should be
increased.
• It also requires establishment of various institutions under
the Ministry of Information Technology to increase the
awareness and computer literacy.
• Above all it requires e-readiness in the minds of citizens
and the Government employees.
