E-Kranti: National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) 2.0
The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) was formulated by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) and Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances (DAR&PG) to reduce government costs and allow citizen access to government services through Common Service Centres (CSC). It began with 27 Mission Mode Projecs and ten components on 2006.
The current version E-Kranti is envisaged by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) as an important pillar of the Digital India programme. Its vision is to transform E-Governance for Transforming Governance and mission is to ensure delivery of all government services electronically to citizens through integrated and interoperable systems, and also ensuring efficiency, transparency, and reliability of such services at affordable prices.
In summary, the objective of E-kranti is to redefine NeGP to bring about transformational and outcome oriented e-Governance initiatives and to promote optimum usage of core Information & Communication Technology (ICT) and rapid replication and integration of eGov applications. Further, it also aims to enhance the portfolio of citizen centric services.
