These toolsmake delivery of government services to citizens in transparentand effciency in effective way. The results of previous studies onE-panchyat show that urban citizens are taking a lot of beneftsfrom these services in comparison to rural population. The ruralpopulation is not getting advantages from modern ICT services.There are many reasons for this gap. It has been seen that thisdifference in utility of ICT services is because of local languageproblems, lack of awareness of public services and sometimesavailability of proper infrastructure. It has been suggested byseveral scholars that these problems can be overcome by greaterparticipation of the people in awareness related public functions atpanchayat level through dedicated ICT services that makes themaware about the proper use of available resources. They shouldbe trained in such a way that knowledge about the governmentservices is shared amongst them. Since rural communities are theclosest to bottom level problems.
