  • Abstract:
  • In India Rural Democracy is entrusted with the system of Local-self-government through Panchayat Raj Institutions. The Directive Principles of States Policy elaborates about the significance of organizing Village Panchayat. It is created to establish Democratic decentralization at grass root level. The dream of organizing village panchayat from the commencement of the constitution is achieved through the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992.The introduction of digital governance and citizen participation in governance is a recent initiative by the government. The role of Information and Technology in rural administration is brand- new and experiences several issues and challenges in governance. The government is implementing several modern measures to rectify some initial problems of introducing digital governance throughout the country. It is the primary duty of the government to balance the bridge between the rural democracy and e- democracy. The e- governance played a significant role during the COVID 19 Pandemic. The steps taken by the government to promote democracy and citizens participation through the information technology is more convincing and brought transparency in administration. The rural areas are affected with connectivity issues. The idea behind knowing how to use the information and communication technology is not imparted in rural education throughout the country. The syllabus of the school education is to be updated with the current digital awareness among teachers as well as students. The network connection between the urban and rural should be similar to interpret the programmes released by the government.
