Good Governance is the use of Information Technology to deliver public services in a more convenient citizen centric and cost effective manner. Good Governance relates to the quality of relationship between the government and the citizens whom it serves and protects. Good Governance consists of four imporatnt pillars viz accountability, transparency, predictability and participation. Citizens want excellence in governance of services delivered on time and at minimum costs. In the fast changing scenario, good governance has become not only necessary but also essential in a set up where people are the biggest stakeholder. In this direction, a number of initiatives have already been made for government officials, legislators and various other key players to come together to learn and explore and achieve the objectives of growth and development.
