PROLOGUE

“I believe government has no business to do

business. The focus should be on minimum

government maximum governance.”

(Narendra Modi).

The quest for paradigms that work for

developing economies has continuously

engaged policymakers, researchers and

practitioners. Often both positive and

negative development outcomes have

inevitably been linked to governance. At the

same time while many developing economies

have been hailed for formulation of good

policies, the challenge of implementation has

been growing. Moving from policy making to

executing is the complex task for service

delivery and governance intricately related.

A consistent and integrated set of policies

may mean the difference between prosperity

and stagnancy.

This explains the rationale behind the growing

interest in governance, risk and compliance—a

phrase that refers to the entire set of processes,

policies and activities around risk. Governance

refers to "all processes of governing, whether

undertaken by a government, market or network,

whether over a family, tribe, formal or informal

organization or territory and whether through

laws, norms, power or language." It relates to "the

processes of interaction and decision-making

among the actors involved in a collective problem

that lead to the creation, reinforcement, or

reproduction of social norms and institutions."

Gujarat, one of the fastest growing state in the

country and the world’s one of the most preferred

investment destination, is a frontline State in the

implementation of governance and e-governance

policies and projects and setting up of key

infrastructure for Governance. Since Mr Narendra

Modi, Ex CM of Gujarat has been elected as a prime

minister of the country, the expectations of the

people in the world have increased significantly

high.

Gujarat Government focuses on growth and

development of new & emerging technology areas.

The Government is proactive in its Initiatives and

ranks first state in the country to have made

Governance functional in all municipalities, gram

panchayats, Nagar Palikas, Corporations and other

organizations.

ICGS - 2015

Gujarat Government promotes information sharing with

the citizen by way of display and disclosure of

information of large number of functional departments

and their subordinate organizations through their

respective websites which act as ‘Information tools’ in

the State. Gujarat has been position at L2 Stage in

Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) which

is categorized based on Environment, Readiness and

Usage of Applications. It stands as an aspiring leader

ranking to 31st Top Hotspots in the World and

minimizing to reach the goal. The government has been

focusing many different functional areas to observe

strong governance.

The Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) is

to build trust and confidence for the general hospitals in

the hearts of the citizen of the state by providing efficient

and quality health services through IT application.

Pag

e4 [

ICG

S –

]

They streamline the operations with

improved Patient care and effective

Administration and Control. HMIS project

was conceptualized to provide standard

clinical & diagnostic tools, hospital

management tools and integration of

management information at the state level so

as to ensure online review & monitoring.

After digitizing all land records, e-Dhara

Kendras (e-DK) have been setup at Taluka

Mamlatdar offices to take up day to day

activities of land records such as mutations

and issue of Record of Rights (RoR).

Workflow based software (BhuLekh Soft) has

been implemented since 2004-2005.

E-Procurement system introduced for all the

purchases and procurements in all the

Government departments, Nigams and

Societies under the administrative control of

the State Government and which are funded

by Government. e-Procurement is Online

bidding system wherein the physical

tendering activity is carried out online using

the Internet and associated technologies.

In Integrated workflow and document

management system, Government of Gujarat (GoG)

wants to use e-Governance as the tool to improve

the Accountability, Transparency & Effectiveness

in Government administration. The Integrated

Workflow and Document Management System

(IWDMS) project has been implemented for the

same through automating the government

functions and processes at all levels of the

administrative hierarchy.

Government of Gujarat under the e-GRAM Project

has decided to equip all the 3 tiers of Panchayats

(Local self-governments in rural areas) and in

particular, each and every Village Panchayat (VP)

with computer hardware & software and other

necessary peripherals in a phased manner. Most of

the VPs have been computerized and provided

with broad band connectivity through VSAT.

Governance, by nature, is multifaceted with its

structure, stakeholders association and

relationship models, processes, and metrics. When

the environment is complex there is a greater need

for robust governance, as without it there is

increased risk of shared service and vendor

partnership value leakage. Better governance

exemplifies accountability, freedom of association

and participation, a sound judicial system, freedom

of information and expression, capacity building,

and similar things.

ICGS - 2015

This Conference therefore provides an arena for

scholars, students and practitioners from diverse

disciplines to collectively explore review of

governance and e-governance in one of the fastest

developing state Gujarat and untapped areas

where still challenges and opportunities lie. The

issues related to strict legal regulations and

regulatory requirements and their applicability

versus the compliances should be analysed. The

timely implementations, and consistency in

internal rules and regulations with internal

control of administration are the major concern

area for implementation of governance. Conflicts

of interests, maintaining independent standards

with high level of professionalism are the issues to

be reviewed. Participants of the conference will be

challenged to move from theoretical frameworks

to practical strategies for improving governance

processes, curbing corruption and improving

service delivery.
