Meaning of E-government

E-Government refers to the use of information technology by government agencies (such as relations with citizens, business and other arms of government). Traditionally, the interactions between a citizen or business and a government agent took place in a government office. With emerging information and communication technologies, it is possible to locate service centre close to the clients. It can thus be said that e-government is a tool to achieve better governance.
