Digital Transformation In Governance

Digital Transformation in Governance

Turbulence caused by Covid and emerging technologies have redefined the new normal for governance. Newer ways of doing things and newer forms of ground-breaking innovations are emerging, leading to complete digital transformation of governance- aptly title eGov 4.0. Just as an instance, cloud/ fog/edge computing, smart-dust is being utilised to provide alternative contact points to the citizens for service delivery mechanisms; Internet of Everything (IoE) has catalysed mobility and connectivity between governance-actors and similarly, social media coupled with big data technologies help to capture the ‘digital footprints’ of the citizens.  In the same vein, application of data analytics and artificial intelligence now support strategic, management and transactional decision making in governance to ensure customised-individual reliefs to its citizens and so on. Indeed, ‘Digital transformation’ has already become the new governance paradigm. In view of this, the present training is an attempt to respond to the urgency of appreciating the changing landscape of digital governance with special reference to India.
