Abstract: Abstract Access to the internet has been advocated as human right or basic right as it mediates and leads to not only participation in the democratic process but also access to the basic services which a society or state has to offer. The state and corporate governance is also being shaped from the usual bureaucratic ones to that which works on the network of flow of information. Digitalization is also making possible not only the interaction of citizens with the state machinery in real-time and also economical but also leading to ‘open governance’, where the rules, processes, and deliveries or actions have become more transparent. ‘Digital governance’, and/or ‘e-governance’ is the term used to define the internet-mediated governance process.
