Synopsis

Digital Governance in India: Policies, Practices, and Challenges offers a rigorous, India-centric account of how ICTs have reshaped the state–citizen relationship over the last two decades and how they can power Viksit Bharat@2047. Bridging theory and practice, the book maps the evolution from e-government pilots to platformized service delivery at national scalecovering legal-policy frameworks, federated digital infrastructures (India Stack, Aadhaar, UPI, DigiLocker), and sectoral platforms that now mediate education, health, agriculture, finance, and justice.

Going beyond what works, it interrogates implementation gaps, ethical risks, data governance, and inclusionespecially across rural–urban, gender, linguistic, and disability divideswhile highlighting innovations from states, municipalities, start-ups, and civil society. Designed for graduate/postgraduate courses in Public Administration and allied social sciences, the volume blends conceptual clarity with applied learning through Indian caselets, policy design exercises, and evaluation toolkits.

By foregrounding constitutional values, participatory design, and accountability, the book argues for a people-centric digital stateefficient and transparent, yet also just and humane. It equips students, researchers, and practitioners to critically assess outcomes, measure public value, and craft the next generation of reforms for an inclusive, resilient, and future-ready India.
