An approach to increase the awareness of e-governance initiatives based on cloud computing

E-governance is being adopted by the governments of every country for its operations through the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) i.e. incorporating its operations through IT model so that the schemes can be reached to the masses. In India too, as of now, nearly every state government has its own e-Governance model. Cloud computing is now being widely used in e-governance. With the help of the features of Cloud computing, e-Governance operations can be built up as cost effective technology solutions and can be geographically distributed to heterogeneous resources thereby increasing the quality of service to the users. In fact, G-cloud (Governance on Cloud) is designed for using Government services. It is not merely enough to set up e-governance models but its awareness amongst masses is equally important. This paper analyses the cloud based model of e-governance and suggests measures to increase awareness among people regarding the various e-governance initiatives taken by the Government of Madhya Pradesh.
