Results from a study of impact of e-government projects in India

The paper presents the results from an assessment study of eight e-government projects from India. The assessment framework measured the total value delivered by a project to various stakeholders on three dimensions: (a) cost to clients for accessing services; (b) perception of quality of service and governance; and (c) agency cost and revenue. Data was collected from randomly selected users encapsulating their experience of using the computerized and manual systems. Impact was estimated as the difference between the rating of the computerized and the manual systems.
