These Awards had been constituted by Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India for the first time in order to acknowledge exemplary initiatives/practices of various States/UTs in the realm of e-Governance for the dissemination of information and services to the citizens. The selection criteria followed by GOI included overall quality and quantity of web based initiatives, the spectrum of sectors/departments having a good web presence and the level of responsiveness towards web based queries including the usability and accessibility by the citizens.
