Gujarat government has spent a lot effort and money on E-Governance but I would not call it E-governance because all government website and email addresses are just static......like dead body. They do not respond. There is no provision to do your essential work online without visiting a goverment office. GoG's E-governance websites can just provide you some information or form downloads, at most. Whereas in developed countries, you can do anything online like .. pay your electricity, water or gas bills, Pay tax for your vehicle, Pay house tax, Pay stamp duty for newly purchased properties, Apply for your driving license or anything for which you have to visit government office and have to deal withcorrupted government officers in India. These all things can be done online if government is willing. Websites can also provide current status of any pending work with government offices. Such combination of effective governance and technology can reduce corruption greatly if anyone is willing to implement it. But things become so transparent, how can "babus" make you fool and get bribe from you ? Dear Himanshu Acharya,
