A. To engage, enable and empower the citizens

B. To provide fair and unbiased services to the citizens

‘ई-गवर्नेस’ के लिए निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा विवरण उचित है?

A. नागरिकों को संलग्न, सक्षम और सशक्त बनाना

B. नागरिकों को न्यायोचित और निष्पक्ष सेवाएं प्रदान करना

C. प्रौद्योगिकी संचालित शासन प्रदान करना D. ई-कॉमर्स अनुप्रयोगों में लोगों के विश्वास को सुनिश्चित करना

You are correct. The appropriate description for ‘E-Governance’ is:

A. नागरिकों को संलग्न, सक्षम और सशक्त बनाना

A. To engage, enable, and empower the citizens.

Let me explain why the other options (B, C, and D) are not appropriate descriptions for ‘E-Governance’:

B. नागरिकों को न्यायोचित और निष्पक्ष सेवाएं प्रदान करना (To provide fair and unbiased services to the citizens):
While fairness and unbiased services are important aspects of governance, ‘E-Governance’ is not solely focused on providing services but also involves the use of technology to enhance governance processes and citizen engagement. Option B does not capture the comprehensive nature of ‘E-Governance.’

C. प्रौद्योगिकी संचालित शासन प्रदान करना (To provide technology-driven governance):
This option is partially correct, as ‘E-Governance’ does involve the use of technology in governance processes. However, it does not fully encompass the broader goals of citizen engagement and empowerment, which are significant components of ‘E-Governance.’

D. ई-कॉमर्स अनुप्रयोगों में लोगों के विश्वास को सुनिश्चित करना (To ensure people’s faith in e-commerce applications):
Option D is unrelated to ‘E-Governance.’ It refers to building trust in e-commerce applications, which is not the primary objective of ‘E-Governance.’ ‘E-Governance’ focuses on using technology for effective governance, transparency, and citizen participation in the government’s functioning.

Therefore, option A (नागरिकों को संलग्न, सक्षम और सशक्त बनाना) is the most appropriate description for ‘E-Governance’ as it emphasizes engaging, enabling, and empowering citizens in the governance processes.

Upon reevaluation, both options A (नागरिकों को संलग्न, सक्षम और सशक्त बनाना) and C (प्रौद्योगिकी संचालित शासन प्रदान करना) can be considered appropriate descriptions for ‘E-Governance.’ They capture different aspects of citizen engagement, empowerment, and the use of technology in governance.
