Award Criteria 2006

The Award is open to all government officials who have been championing e-Governance at any administrative level they are entitled to, at the State, District, City or Tehsil and Panchayat level. However, the e-Governance service should directly and/or indirectly benefit the citizens. The efforts could well be to increase the efficiency of government departments itself as such efforts would ultimately make sure the ripple effect improves the government to citizen transactions at all level.
All entries will be evaluated according to the criteria, which are tied to the concept of value added for users accessing e-Governance mechanisms to serve multiple purposes. The evaluation criteria will be based on quality and comprehensiveness of e-Governance content, ease of use, functionality, navigation and orientation, value added through interactivity and multimedia, attractiveness of design, soundness of technology being used, the scalability and sustainability issues and finally the impact it has made on the citizen’s life.

The awards will be judged region wise. A total of three champions shall be chosen from across the States and departments in a region. Hence, overall 12 e-Gov champions will be felicitated at the Dataquest e-Gov Summit 2006 in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.
