"mGOV" IN INDIA A PRACTICAL RESEARCH PROPOSITION UTILIZING THE TECHNOLOGICAL AND MANAGEMENT ASPECTS

HIS paper uniquely proposes the concept of Mobile Governance (mGov) as an extension to the management of technology in Indian context.

Taking the structure of the paper on the lines of, first introducing the concepts of eGov and mGov, the theories attached therewith, introduction of the comparative scope by studying eGov cases across some relevant countries, mobile technologies and how that would help bring a mobile revolution in India, the paper also proposes a basic implementable architecture as also the basic components of a typical mGov set-up.
