What is the e-Governance Index?
The e-Governance Index is a tool used to measure the effectiveness of electronic governance initiatives and the digital transformation of government services. It evaluates how well government agencies leverage information and communication technologies (ICT) to provide efficient, transparent, and accessible services to citizens and businesses.
The e-Governance Index 2024 focuses on three broad areas: delivery of services to citizens and businesses, transparency in government functioning, and accessibility during service delivery.
