At the advent of 21st century, the definition of governance has reinvented itself. Merely allocating the funds for the policy initiatives has given way to the new dimension of building more trust between citizens and governments by governments reaching out to the people in providing services at their doorstep. With information revolution and scope of Information Technology broadened, the state government found a new way to fill the trust deficit. ICT based E-Governance and M-Governance became handy tools in the hand of the state government to improve the services and its reach to attain socioeconomic objectives.
