E- Governance: An Approach to Manage Bureaucratic Impediments

Premises: This paper presents a conceptual framework of operationalizing e-Governance. The framework is based on three basic premises. These are: ƒ The present bureaucratic structure is inadequate to respond to the call of e-Governance, because of the certain impediments, which are detrimental for the adaptation of this kind of system. ƒ There is a possibility of transforming present conventional system of bureaucracy into Neo-Bureaucratic system with the help of interventional strategies of e-Governance that requires a careful study of interplay of its various components before planning and designing the strategies. ƒ The importance of e-Governance lies in creating a global society, which has capacity to absorb divergent value patterns to eventually form universal normative axis having thrust on humane element. Preamble The capacity of man to visualize, to rationalize and then to transform the society has always put different institutions on test for their abilities to cater to the changing expectations of people.

Precisely, it focuses on automation, informatisation, and transformation so as to increase the pace of development. Thus the fundamental objectives are, ƒ to have governance which economizes, ƒ to have governance which multiplies output at same cost manifold
