Hurdles in rural e-government projects in India: lessons for developing countries
by Narasimhaiah Gorla
Electronic Government, an International Journal (EG), Vol. 5, No. 1, 2008

Abstract: Rural Electronic Government (e-government) projects are aimed at providing government services and information to rural public. The e-government initiatives have not been very successful in developing countries because of several inherent constraints. We study ten typical rural e-government projects in India and analyse the operational, economic and personnel hurdles faced in implementing them along with their progression. Based on the implementation experiences of these projects, a list of recommendations is provided for successful execution of e-government projects. These recommendations will be useful for managing e-government projects in the developing world.
