Unit 13: Regulatory Framework of Projects

Notes

One of the main reasons for failure of e-governance in India is absence of accountability, lack of
transparency and no time bound performance.

Example: Considering e-courts in India. Till the month of January 2011 we are still
waiting for the establishment of first e-court in India. Even the National Litigation Policy of
India (NLPI) failed to consider information technology for legal and judicial purposes in India.
Another key issue regarding e-governance and m-governance is absence of any legal
framework for Mandatory Electronic Delivery of Services in India (MEDSI). The real problem
with Indian E-Governance and M-Governance initiatives is that Legal Framework for
Mandatory Electronic Delivery of Services in India is missing, says Praveen Dalal, Supreme
Court lawyers and Managing Partner of India’s exclusive techno legal law firm Perry4Law.
There is no effective Legal Enablement of ICT Systems in India and even the Information
Technology Act, 2000 is “Non-Mandatory” regarding E-governance and M-governance in
India, informs Praveen Dalal.

Did u know? India has a poor track record of launching projects like Aadhar, Natgrid,
CCTNS, etc.
Authorities like UIDAI are without any proper planning and strategy. Even legal frameworks
for these projects/authorities are missing.
Let us hope that India would learn from the failures of these projects and would make proper
planning, policies and legal framework for m-governance in India before launching the same in
bewilderment.

Task Discuss the regulatory framework for M-governance in India.
