The transaction website which provides the number of all the e-governance transactions taking place in India on a real time basis in,http://etaal.gov.in/etaal/login.aspx will have its version 2.0 soon. “E-taal version 2.0 will be out in two months time,” said Gaurav Dwivedi, director, e-governance, department of electronics and IT (DeitY).

Dwivedi informed that the new version of e-taal will have business analytics tools to not just look at data but also to analyse it and bring out transaction patterns.

Dwivedi was talking at a conference on accelerating domestic technology adoption to drive inclusive growth organised by FICCI in Delhi on November 28.

“The new tools of the website would show not just the number of government services offered but also what services are in demand at what times of the year,” said Dwivedi.

Dwivedi gave an example of the demand of caste certificates in India which spikes up during university and college admissions and job selection exams. “With such information, the government can actually gear up to provide such services when we know the demand is going to be high,” said Dwivedi.

The Director in e-governance further said that the new revised website would also have the number of days that a service took in being delivered. “It will show if the service was delivered within the window of time promised by the government,” he said.

Action could be taken if the maximum number of services crosses the window of time designated by the government.

Dwivedi said that business analytics tool would also help the government in analysing its services. He said that the website would be a one stop shop for all data in e-governance and will reduce the time it takes for data to travel from one department to the other. “This saved time could be used to make the existent services better,” said Dwivedi.

He mentioned that e-taal would become most efficient when the electronic delivery of services bill would be implemented. The bill will ask governments of all states to evaluate and provide a list of services, which could be made available online. “The governments will have to then put them online in five years which could be extended to eight years,” said Dwivedi.
