Lesson 10.2: Types of e-Governance (G2C, G2G, G2B, G2E)
e-Governance can be divided into four types, based on who is interacting with the government. Letβs understand each one:

Accessing services via UMANG App

-
e-District services for caste/income certificates
ποΈ 2. G2G β Government to Government
Different government departments share data and communicate digitally for better coordination.
π Examples:
-
Digital Police β for sharing crime records between states
-
