The main goal of the 'Capacity Building Scheme' under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) is to build the human and institutional capacity within the government to effectively design, manage, and implement e-governance projects.
The scheme addresses the critical need for a digitally skilled workforce in the government, which is essential for the success of any large-scale e-governance initiative. Its core objectives include:
Establishing State e-Governance Mission Teams (SeMTs): A key part of the scheme is the creation and deployment of SeMTs in every state and union territory. These professional teams provide strategic and technical support to state governments, helping them plan, manage, and implement e-governance projects.
Providing Training: It aims to train government officials at all levels—from senior bureaucrats to frontline staff—in e-governance best practices, project management, and the use of new technologies. This ensures that the government workforce is equipped with the necessary skills to lead and sustain the digital transformation.
Creating Institutional Frameworks: The scheme also focuses on developing and strengthening the necessary institutional frameworks and processes within government departments to support e-governance. This includes creating Project e-Governance Mission Teams (PeMTs) at the departmental level and establishing a central cell for coordination.
