Conclusion
The government’s initiatives to promote the use of e-governance solutions in social welfare schemes and development programs have substantially improved targeting, efficiency, and effectiveness. Digital platforms, integrated service delivery systems, and data analytics have enhanced transparency, accountability, and accessibility.
