E-Governance impacts on GDP Growth

• By deploying e-governance, benefits that directly
  contribute to the GDP growth are
  government-to-business services (G2B), efficient
  information sharing between government
  departments (G2G).
• Better G2B and B2G services provide better
  investor/business-friendly ecosystem, reduced
  regulatory burden. 
• Enhanced internal efficiencies (G2G) contribute
  to economy by streaming the redundant processes
  that facilitates e-services to various
  stakeholders.
• By deploying efficient , user-friendly Govt. to
  Citizen (G2C) services leading to reduced
  delivery cost of services

5
Direct impact of e-Governance on GDP

• Direct effect of investments on e-government
  innovations in GPR/BPR (G2G) would lead to
  economic growth, which can be attributed to the
  following outcomes
• Cost savings reduction of cost of services and
  delivery.
• Reallocation of financial resources in a more
  meaningful way.
• Reallocation of human resources.
• Faster collection of tax and other related
  revenues.
• Better government business planning and financial
  management.
• Increased revenue coverage

6
Indirect impact of e-Governance on GDP

• Some indirect contribution of e-government in
  economic growth is also provided by the increase
  in government sector labour productivity leading
  to changes in share of GDP accounted for by
  government sector output, consequent to
  implementation of e-governance.

7
How this can be achieved in a country like
India?NeGP addresses these issues
comprehensively.

• Ubiquitous network connectivity would be the
  answer

8
One of the critical NeGP components is the core
egov infrastructure which addresses this issue

9
National e-Governance Plan (NeGP)

• Approved by Union Cabinet recently
• Has 8 components viz. Core Support
  Infrastructure, RD, Vision-Mission-Strategies,
  Organisational Structure, Capacity Building etc.
• Has 26 Mission Mode Projects (MMPs)
• 10 Central Sector
• 8 State Sector
• 8 Integrated Sectors
• Cabinet approved 5 State-specific MMPs also for
  each state
• Estimated outlay Rs.23,000 Cr. in five years
• Please visit lt www.mit.gov.in gt homepage and link
  
• for details on NeGP

Core Support e-Governance Infrastructure in
NeGP

• State Wide Area Network (Connectivity)
• Common Services Centres (Front-end)
• State Data Centre (Back-end)

11
These three pillars of Core Support
Infrastructurebeing implemented by Dept. of IT

• Three pillars
• Wide Area Networks up to Block (SWAN)
• 2 Mbps up to Block
• Shared wideband by wireless beyond Block
• Common Services Centres (CSCs)
• State Data Centres (SDC)
• Together, they would enable
• Decentralized Implementation
• Last mile access for Service Delivery
• Entrepreneurship for sustainable PPP Model
• Service delivery upto atleast GP level

12
State Wide Area Network (SWAN)
13
State Wide Area Network - Background

• Core infrastructure is one of 8 components of
  NeGP
• Mission Mode Projects (Central/ State) would need
  fast, reliable connectivity upto Block Level
  through SWAN/ NICNET
• DIT mandated to establish SWAN across the country
  for 2 Mbps min. BW by supporting State Govts. to
  establish SWAN to be seamlessly connected to
  NICNET
• Policy Guidelines for DIT Technical and Financial
  Support issued in October, 2004
• Cost to be shared between GoI and State
  Governments
• SWAN Scheme approved by CCEA in March05 with an
  estimated outlay of Rs.3334 crores

14
Salient Features of SWAN

• One PoP at each State / District / Block
  Headquarter (Co-located field formations would
  have one PoP)
• Each PoP has Configurable Aggregation Equipment
  to enable vertical horizontal connectivity
• Gateway to NICNET (Existing NIC network upto
  District level) for facilitating Central E-Gov
  Services
• Wireless connectivity to provide connectivity at
  Sub-Block level (Common Services Centres)

State Data Centre (SDC) One of the Three
Elements of the Core e-Gov Infrastructure under
NeGP
21
State Data Centre Perspective

• To be established one in each State
• One National Data Depository
• SDCs to consolidate Data, Services, Applications
  Infrastructure to provide electronic delivery
  of G2G, G2C G2B services
• Would work as Back-end for SWAN (Middleware
  Connectivity) CSC (Front-end delivery platform)
  and also for NICNET for Central Services

Contd
22
State Data Centre Perspective

• Should be featured with
• Secure Data Storage
• Online delivery of Services
• Citizen Information Services Portal
• State Intranet Portal
• Disaster Recovery
• Remote Management and Service Integration
• State would have undertaken initiatives to
  established SWAN

Contd

• DIT-GoI presently drafting SDC Guidelines to
  calibrate
