E-governance using big data

Abstract

The continuous advancements in the field of ICT and the constant efforts from the Central and State governments have been the foremost forces for the successful launch and reinforcement of e-governance in India. With the help of public and private sectors, governments are encouraging organizations for interoperability to store and process data from a central location that further enhances decision-making. This fastest-growing data is turning into big data. The tools used to study and analyse big data at a great speed and accuracy are known as big data analytics. These big datasets can be text/audio/video/picture, etc. As the use of e-governance datasets is increasing, the citizens expect to analyse and process datasets at greater speed and accuracy. This paper shows the relationship between e-governance and big data, its implementation around the globe, initiatives taken by India to establish e-governance, and some challenges in implementing big data with e-governance projects.
