The biennial study assesses States, and Union Territories (UTs), and focuses Central Ministries on the effectiveness of e-Governance service delivery. NeSDA helps the respective governments improve their delivery of citizen-centric services and shares best practices across the country for all States, UTs and Central Ministries to emulate.
DARPG conducted its second edition of the NeSDA study in January 2021. NeSDA 2021 covered services across seven sectors – Finance, Labour and employment, Education, Local Governance & Utility Services, Social Welfare, Environment and Tourism sectors.
