E-Governance for Sustainable Industrial Development: An Evaluation of State Policies in Uttarakhand
摘要
In evolving international government organization which makes use of information and communication technology to increase efficiency, transparency and public participation is crucially increasing with the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to increase productivity, transparency and public participation. E-governance and decision-making involvement and tools are essential, while e-services and smartphone applications, including websites, help the public and private sector to communicate with each other. They also create complex problems for government. Adoption of e-governance to solve this problem will reduce bureaucracy, speed up service delivery, and increase greater public participation in government decisions which will also increase adaptability of the general public towards government decisions. Sustainable Development Goal 9 on Industry Innovation and Infrastructure Development supported by expert systems like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning surely enhance data management, analysis, and real-time decision-making. This will be helpful in many industries such as medical logistics, agriculture, and may provide solutions such as medical diagnostics, transportation networks, agricultural forecasts, and early morning systems. However, they also bring risks to justice, accountability, and accessibility, including data privacy issues. The responsible creation and execution of e-governance requires multi-discipline cooperation, adherence to developing norms and technological standards. Uttarakhand scores only 62/100 on SDG 9, suggesting a gap in the efficacy of industrial strategy, despite having a strong overall governance performance (79/100) in the SDG India Index 2023–2024. The study uses approaches to pinpoint the mechanisms and obstacles that prevent digital governance from producing sustainable industrial outcomes. The key findings of this paper suggest the need of data integration, stakeholder cooperation, and adaptive policy management.
