E-Government is more about improving the efficiencies, rather than the computerisation of government, the chief executive officer of India's National Institute for Smart Government (NSIG) said yesterday during an e-government conference.
Sanjiv Mind, who delivered the keynote speech during the opening of the International Conference on e-Government and Administrative Simplification, said governments had tendencies to focus more on introducing [CT infrastructure in all aspects of government.
However, this diverted attention away from one of the main purposes of implementing e-government, which was to make the government and its services more accessible to the stakeholders and increase its efficiency, he pointed out.
