Abstract
Governments invest significant number of resources to implement e-governance projects. Considering this huge investment, it was found necessary to study whether or not these services are fully utilized by the citizens. The paper presents an evaluation of the e-governance regarding the perception of the users in the Indian context, wherein two dimensions of benefits: quality of service (QoS) and quality of governance (QoG) are proposed. To test the perception of the users, the services under e-District project was selected in which primary data was collected from 400 users. The Wilcoxon-signed rank test was used to find significant differences between traditional system(manual) and e-governance(computerized). The findings of the study indicate that e-governance services are beneficial in terms of QoS and QoG.
