9.
Is e-Governance a prerequisite for m-Governance?
Even though m-Governance may be seen
as an extension of e-Governance services, existence of e-Governance services is
not a prerequisite for deployment of m-Governance services. The mobile-based
innovative public services to be deployed under the ambit of this framework and
implementation strategy are aimed at extending the access of public services to
those sections of the society which are unable or unwilling to access public
services through internet or those which simply prefer to use mobile devices.
The key objective of m-Governance initiatives in the proposed framework is to
enhance the bottom-up participation and empower the disadvantaged sections of
the society, thus fulfilling the mission of anywhere, anytime services as
envisaged under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP).
10. What are the steps to be followed by a Government Department to register
services for m-Governance?
DeitY will provide the necessary
guidance and assistance to all Government Departments and Agencies to register
their services for m-Governance. DeitY will also provide necessary integration
support to help Government Departments in adopting m-Governance for delivery of
public services.
11.
Who will be responsible for creation of mobile-ready content?
The concerned Departments and
Ministries will be responsible for creating and updating mobile-ready content
for their respective services. They may seek appropriate inputs and feedback
from users.
12.
What steps will DeitY take to promote m-Governance initiative?
DeitY, or any of its designated
agencies, will undertake awareness creation and capacity building exercises for
promoting Mobile Governance initiative among stakeholders and potential
beneficiaries across Government, Industry, and Civil Society.
