Proposed laws on time-bound delivery via electronic platforms are imparting speed, timeliness and accuracy in important areas: (1) land, civil and judicial records, (2) benefits transfer and tax compliance, (3) procurement, auctioning and corporate affairs, among others.

We study the model of top-down planning and execution and also detail a few case studies across various sectors where digitization has made a marked impact. A transparent world governed by rule of law
The government, as part of its National e-governance Plan, proposes to digitize various facets of its interaction with its citizens and businesses. Bills like ‘Electronic Delivery of Service Bill, 2011’, ‘Right of Citizens for Time Bound Delivery of Goods and Services and Redressal of their Grievances Bill, 2011’ and ‘Public Procurement Bill, 2012’ are creating the legal framework for time-bound electronic service delivery.
GameChangers: Increase bandwidth; free data; involve citizens
Digitizing India has the potential of reducing bureaucratic hurdles in starting and running businesses in India. Making interfaces more customer friendly, introducing and publicizing penal actions taken and consolidating the data across platforms will make governing India easier and possibly a lot cheaper. More important, the data that is generated needs to be made public in a format that can be understood by both humans and machines: high-quality data coupled with in- depth analysis can lead to significantly improved outcomes.
