Implementation of E-Government in Pakistan

The use of information technology is growing rapidly in today’s world and it plays an important role in daily activities of individuals, businesses and organizations. Now a day the use of modern technology is becoming more popular in Government sector as well. This increase in use of new technology is improving not only the facilities provided to the general public by increasing the efficiency of processes and management of the government systems but is also bringing the transparency in the operations.
E- Government means electronic government, it refers to the situation where the free movement of information that help to trounce the physical operations done by government to increase the access of real information and deliver the proper rights to the citizens, businesses and other related parties.
Government itself is a big business which always has wide scope to perform the operations. Generally it is considered that the role of the government is only limited to the welfare of society but practically government is a proper business organization where the four main customers are citizens, the business community, local government, and Foreign government and businesses. In our country it is a big challenge to bring transparency in the government operation and this can happen by bring the concept of E-Gov. 
Under developing Country like Pakistan where the corruption, non transparency, unequal distribution of wealth, poor health care facilities, deprived law and order system and many other pitiable issues are prominent when we talk about the government system and its operation, the concept of E-government system can be one of the best choice to overcome these issue in one way or other.  In Pakistan the health care facilities are available at its best but these facilities are not managing in proper way that ultimately cause the serious problem regarding health at national level and even people have to lose their lives. Improper medication subscription can be the cause of unfavorable result. In our rural areas where the facilities for proper medication are not available, people need to visit big cities for advance treatment. If a patient had treatment from a doctor but after long remedy the problem didn’t resolve and he visits to another doctor for further treatment. The new doctor requires the previous history of patient’s all medication from all the doctors so that he/she can have idea what kind of medicine the patient used or what kind of medical treatment did with the patient in past that gives more clear idea for the further treatment of the patient’s diseases. There should be a proper online medication subscription system that whenever any medicine subscribe to a patient it should be recorded in the government database so that if the patient visit to any other doctor in future, the proper medical history should be  in access to new doctor for further treatment. Secondly, this can also helpful for the government to determine which kind of disease is more common. At national level it can be apply for all the doctors either private or public to provide or access the online medical information of their patients.
Today the law and order situation of Pakistan is at its worst which is ultimately affecting the activities in all aspects of life. Crime is increasing day by day, criminals are not properly being punished and innocent people are becoming the victim of miss use of the authorities. Corruption in our police department is at its peak and it is only because the miss use of already developed system. E- Government can bring purification and permissible change in this system. FIR for any crime should be record in government database through an online system so that the criminal activity especially theft can reduce by punishing the responsible people while on the other hand if the wrong FIR is reported, the responsible people will be punish for the miss use of authority because any recorded activity can be monitor at national level. Government should make Traffic Fine System online so that the corruption can reduce in our Traffic Police department.
Welfare of the society is one of the important functions of any government. In our country where nationally as well as privately many non-profit organizations work for the betterment of our society, the corruption and non-transparency is very much common now a days. The funds provided by the local people or the foreign governments to make the living standards better or to give basic necessity of life to poor people are not properly using for the real purpose. The one of the biggest problem is improper checking system that allows the authoritative people to use the funds for personal interest or at improper place. At national level for all nonprofit private or public organization there should be a system that will monitor the flow of funds. The people who want to donate any kind of amount or any item it must be registered to government and the non-profit organization must record their every transaction so that at national level government can have clear picture of flow of donated funds.
