AN INTRODUCTION TO E-GOVERNANCE E-Governance refers to the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability of government. E-Government can be seen simply as moving citizen services online, but in its broadest sense it refers to the technology-enabled transformation of government - governments best hope to reduce costs, whilst promoting economic development, increasing transparency in government, improving service delivery and public administration, and facilitating the advancement of an information society.

Reducing Costs: Putting services on-line substantially decreases the processing costs of many activities compared with the manual way of handling operations. Efficiency is also attained by streamlining internal processes and by enabling faster and more informed decision making. Promoting Economic development - Technology enables governments to create positive business climates by simplifying relationships with businesses and reducing the administrative steps needed to comply with regulatory obligations. There is a direct impact on the economy, as in the case of e-procurement, which creates wider competition and more participants in the public sector marketplace. Enhancing Transparency and Accountability: E-Government helps to increase the transparency of decision-making processes by making information accessible publishing government debates and minutes, budgets and expenditure statements, outcomes and rationales for key decisions, and in some cases, allowing the on-line tracking of applications on the web by the public and press. Improving Service Delivery: government service delivery, in the traditional process, is time consuming, lacks transparency, and leads to citizen and business dissatisfaction. By putting government services online, eGovernment reduces bureaucracy and enhances the quality of services in terms of time, content and accessibility. Improving Public Administration- e-government administrative components, such as a computerized treasury, integrated financial management information systems, and human resource management systems, lead to greater efficiency in public administration. Features include the integration of expenditure and receipt data, control of expenditure, human resources management, intelligent audit through data analysis and the publishing of financial data. Facilitating an e-Society: One of the main benefits of an eGovernment initiative consists of the promotion of ICT use in other sectors. The technological and management capacities required for eGovernment administration encourage, in turn, the development

of new training courses and modules in schools and universities trying to supply the required skills and capabilities to the market E-Government usually describes relationships across 3 modalities: 1. Government to Citizen: deals with the relationship between government and citizens. G2C allows citizens to access government information and services instantly, conveniently, from everywhere, by use of multiple channels. 2. Government to Business: consists of e-interactions between government and the private sector. The opportunity to conduct online transactions with government reduces red tape and simplifies regulatory processes, therefore helping businesses to become more competitive. 3. Government to Government: Governments depend on other levels of government within the state to effectively deliver services and allocate responsibilities. In promoting citizen-centric service, a single access point to government is the ultimate goal, for which cooperation among different governmental departments and agencies is necessary. G2G facilitates the sharing of databases, resources and capabilities, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of processes. National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) has been approved by the Government of India for implementation during the years 2003-2007 to lay foundation and provide impetus to eGovernance throughout the Country. The Plan advocates definition of institutional mechanisms and core policies for managing e-governance initiatives across the Country in a cohesive manner and entails that services, having high volume of citizen interactions, with major impact on National and Regional economies or where service-owners themselves show readiness to optimize, be targeted as Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) at various levels. Further, by providing appropriate weightage to quality and speed of optimization and by utilizing full potential of private sector involvement, NeGP aims at creating a citizencentric and business-centric environment for governance. However, it was observed that most States were inadequately equipped in terms of personnel and skill-sets needed to handle the host of issues involved in effective implementation of NeGP in their respective areas. State Governments needed to provide for overall direction, standardization and consistency across initiatives and at the same time, were to have resources and flexibility to drive the Plan in the best-possible manner.

ABOUT THE COLLEGE. Orissa Engineering College (OEC) is the first private engineering college to be established in Odisha. It was set up way back in 1986 when the concept of private education was yet to be understood by people. Orissa Engineering College is the result of the vision of Late Shri Kamini Kanta Patnaik, who laid the foundation of what is today one of the best technical institutes in the state & the Country. OEC is a part of Nabajyoti Charitable Trusts Endeavour to provide quality education. The college was started with an aim to provide quality technical education to a wider domain of illustrious students of the state of Odisha in particular and the nation in general. Orissa Engineering College is affiliated to the Biju Patnaik University of Technology and has been approved by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education). OEC today is recognized as a unique campus in our country with extraordinary potential for development of indigenous technology and its engineering industries. Bringing the spark of knowledge to young minds and rapidly inculcating confidence, its main aim is to ascertain students perception of a quality experience in higher education.

PROJECT STATUS Final year project is a key gateway for the students to understand the requirements and feel the nuances of the larger domain in the Campus. All the students of our Final Year (CS & IT Departments) are doing their final projects on different domains such as : JAVA, J2EE, PHP, ORACLE, C & C++ and LINUX etc.. Apart from the requirement of the curriculum, we are enabling the students to gain the knowledge about the latest technologies so that they can be flexible enough to be involved in various development teams and make themselves up-to-date with the real time projects. Generally our students are developing the projects based on some real live implementations of day to day applications. The total student strength of CSE and IT is 240 and they are involved in various projects in their preferred platforms. After the eGov campus initiative we have tried to implement some of the projects(the number are very less) which will be similar to the state government eGov projects. Some projects are similar to MMP(Mission Mode projects) of other states but not yet implemented in state of odisha. And some are even creative in its objectives and can be considered as a eGov project.
