The document discusses India's goal of becoming a digitally governed or "e-Governed" nation by 2020 in order to support the president's vision of India becoming a developed country. It argues that widespread e-governance is necessary because of India's large population, corruption, slow bureaucracy, and long decision times. The document outlines past successes with e-governance programs and notes that key factors for success include developing rural infrastructure and connectivity, increasing digital literacy, and reforming laws and business processes to support e-governance through private-public partnerships at local kiosks. It concludes with lessons learned around sustainability, incremental improvements, and social factors.
