Mobile Seva -- The National Mobile Governance Initiative of India

Mobile Governance can connect Citizens and Government in powerful "never before" ways.

The Mobile Seva initiative of Government of India aims at mainstreaming mobile governance in the country as a compelling new paradigm for delivery of public services electronically through the mobile platform. It stems from the realization that penetration of mobile phones in the country is much higher compared to access to computers and internet, especially in rural areas. Hence, mobile platform can help tremendously in increasing access to government services, especially for the rural population. Mobile devices are ideally suited as alternative access and delivery channels for public services in these areas.
