Use the mobile phone as an interactive device where a villager can post an audio message on a server monitored by the government. The government will then know if its different schemes/benefits are reaching the common man on a realtime basis.

To start with all the MPs covered under MPLADS scheme should mandatorily maintain an account on any of the available or gov promoted social networking site. This would not only bring in accountability about the money spend under that scheme but would also help the electorate in assessing the credibility and meritocracy of the MPs claims during the election canvassing. Also in future this might extend to as a report card for all the parliament members.

There are currently a lot of people in India who search online for guidance on diseases, medicines and doctors. Often it is seen that people are misguided by different websites. If a common Gov2.0 platform can be created for a panel of Government doctors to interact with people on these matters, then it could be very useful. This will form a tool for citizen benefit and awareness mechanism.

A platform similar to Linked In exclusively for government employees (that will be hosted on the Intranet site) can be really helpful in achieving the following things:
I. Brief profile of every employees will be there. E.g. Blue Pages on W3, the Intranet site of IBM.
II. Boosting competitiveness amongst employees as the profile of an employee will contain his/ her performance rating according to yearly performance. E.g. 5 star rating of an employee of a department will motivate others to perform well. Display of performance based rating also brings transparency  in the process. There will a boost in competitiveness amongst employees which is very much necessary in government sector. For e-Governance system efficiency is very important.
III. Networking with employees of other departments will improve co-ordination and co-operation.
By using micro-blogging on the Intranet site government departments or bodies can notify various stakeholders about something that is useful and essential. Besides, micro-blogging on Twitter can be used to connect to citizens and businesses.Use of social media can be very effective for communication of DM, SDM or BDO with Panchayat Pradhan or any other stakeholder regarding rural development. Staring from spreading awareness to implementation of a scheme and monitoring online media can be significantly helpful. Even in rural areas people are very much comfortable with handling mobile phones. Micro-blogging through mobile phone can empower rural people by helping them to be aware about their rights and entitlements. Apart from making system faster, it will reduce crime rate and degree of corruption.

Basic amentities shoud be the priority and implementation of those programmes whatever problems are being faced by citizens. They should be addressed, concrete steps and actions should be taken promptly. The attitude that we will take action that should be highlighted. The bribes taken in every department (customs, excise, sales tax) to name a few but all of them are so infected that peopl are forced to pay bribe. See the road connections which are worse than any village of an african country. We say that we are fast growing but nothing is in line. It's time that the government should produce the results like not make personnel bank balances in crores by doing favours. Here in India without favours or modifying the rule. If someone is truly loyal and works as per law they are never bound to rise. This platform should be used effectively.

Their should be a platform on internet for asking questions or giving suggestions directly to MP, MLA, ministers and to officers selected by Civil service examinations.the questions or suggestion can be seen  to everyone and if possible polling should be done. I didn't get the answer or feedback of my question and suggestion which i ask\ gave by E-mail. Because good ideas or suggestions should take in mind carefully. This will help for strengthening democracy.

eBooks and eFilms made from our national archives would provide the capability for selectively posting them on social networks/media for larger visibility (and permitted usage). Additionally, they could leverage the growing market of readers, slates and tablets. Apart from several benefits including knowledge enhancement, this would help boost the national pride not only amongst Indians but World over across millions/billions of people. This also creates the much desired fabric that continues to hold India in high esteem even amongst several ongoing irritants!

India is the second largest populated country of world but it is far behind in the field of sports in the comparision to other small nations. It does not mean that we have no tallant.The problems are related to selection procedure and lack of participation from rural areas. Thus a huge human resource remains  unutilised.The sports authorities of India and states should provide some facility in their community pages for which people from different areas of the country can post regarding upcomming sport man quality of the children from their locality. The sports authorities should analyses the details and take appropriate steps to provide facilities to groom them as future sports man of India. it should be done sincerly for which India will be placed among sporting nation of of the world.

The success of social media in government sector is largely dependent on the level of collaboration culture across all the levels. There is a strong need for cultural and organizational change to promote collaboration which will help modernize government to take maximum benefit from Social Media. Also, there is a need to provide leadership (at central or at state government level) for the development of flexible and reactive guidelines in context of social media usage by public servants which will help build a culture of openness and trust.
Recommendations:
-Public-private partnership can help the government to adopt some of the best practices in the private sector and apply them with context of government. Also, government should closely work with IT vendors to bring innovative solutions specifically meant for the government sector. There is a need for the government to align priorities and objectives with technology innovation to gain optimum benefit from the medium and this is where transparent leadership will play an important role
-Sharing is caring: Government should actively collaborate through shared research and shared experiences to develop the culture of collaboration, openness and trust across different levels within government
-Government should identify leaders and task them with assuring that benefits of social media are being implemented across different government levels. Shared and consistent guidelines for the use of social media (privacy, security, information management, etc.) by public servants will help government develop culture and gain benefit in the long term
-Government should develop a viable business case for social media usage in the public sector, including cost analysis and evaluate different measures of success related to social media usage

I think Gov 2.0 goes beyond facebook, twitter and blogs in the public sphere.  Web 2.0 tools have enormous application internally within Government departments.  Blogs, RSS and Wikis can be used by knowledge workers and employees to create collaborative and shared workspaces in order to boost productivity and efficiency in their work environment. Powerful tools like MS Sharepoint can be used to index documents shared over networks and at the same time integrated with third party solutions to enhance knowledge sharing, attribution, accountability and effective project management.

Using of social networking site by different govt department is a very good move because it will help common people to take part in state building activities. Various govt departments should provide interaction facility in their community pages for which common people give their views and respective department will analyse all important suggestions and proposals for which proper initiative will be possible to solve the problems. Most of the Indian villages are out of touch of internet and people are not computer literate, in such cases various department should encourage by different means to all intellectuals and students to use this platform for presenting their economical problems, social problems and problems related to corruption, manipulation and exploitation for which justice and development will be possible. . Respective departments should take action immediately for which its reliability will be more and social equality will be achieved.

On the lines of Code for America, regular camps should be held which brings together cutting-edge web developers and local decisions makers on the same platform.
At these events, each participating city identifies a particular project, 5 fellows (web-developers) are chosen, who over the course of 11 months develop the application and roll it out. Such conferences are based on the Bar-Camp model which are a rage across the world and in India. It would not only bring together problem and problem-solvers, it would also create in people an increased civic sense.

A web platform which collates all data about MP's, MLA's and other representatives under one head. This platform would mine data about different representative from sources like twitter, facebook accounts, online newspapers etc to provide a consolidated view of what they are doing. Such data mining can be done using simple tools such as the ones developed by Legistalker. http://legistalker.org/ People can then subscribe to particular representatives using twitter or FB to follow what they are doing.

Using Facebook to boost students registering to vote. Everyone above 18 on facebook can be asked if they are on the voting list, if they are not they'd be taken to a site to register. After police verification and submitting necessary documents, the people should be given their voters ID in a month. Implementation of the Multipurpose National Identity Card program should facilitate easier registration in the future.Those who turn 18 should be sent a message on facebook to follow steps to register themselves and get a voter ID. Students and Youth are the future of our nation, empowering them with the vote will further help to accelerate the development of our country.

Please check our Gov2.0 site at http://www.citizensocial.com. We are enabling Gov2.0 initiatives at local governance level by bringing in the stakeholders on a single location based public platform. Our location based platform connects citizens in the locality to the events in their area. For instance   1. If a new road is being laid in a locality, the EE (Executive Engineer, Government official) can publish the information on our site along with the details of the tender, work details etc. Citizens get to give their feedback on the quality of the work on citizen social.  We provide a dashboard for the officials which will help them in understanding the quality of the work using crowd sourcing models 2. Citizens report their local issues such as a bad patch of road, streetlights not working etc.  Citizens in the area get notified by the location based citizen social platform.  Citizens can vote for the issues which they would like to see fixed.  This helps authorities in understanding the important issues of the locality and help them take timely action.

I think that all the local elected politicians should have websites which updates information about the things that are being done and the things that will be done. It is important for them to know how to use emails and other social media platforms. The website will help them generate publicity amongst the youngsters. Today's youth does not like to read an election manifesto but he/she will 'like' your facebook page and also give you valuable suggestions if he knows that it is going to the right person. We can then have a comparison between the candidates when the elections come. Information is the key. The problems need to reach the right person and the person in charge needs to do his job because he is getting paid for it. I would also like to add that good governance means minimum government and maximum governance. :)

Citizens need information about emergencies on a timely basis. To take the  example of Delhi, people need information about which roads are blocked (provided by Delhi Police), whether the Yamuna is flooding today, whether a hurricane's predicted (Weather department), whether there's a riot in this area (Home Department) and so on. Most of the times each government department makes its own Facebook or twitter account. Citizens subscribe to these, and thus get flooded with messages. In this flood, the emergency message is lost. An emergency twitter account could be created for each state - www.twitter.com/Delhi-emergency. All govt departments could then be made members of this account using hoot-suite. A department personnel tweets emergency messages to this account, and this then goes to all subscribers on their mobiles, facebook or email .

Using Google maps, there should be a interactive map showing all contracts awarded in a particular area. For each contract, information about name of contractor, amount, nature of work, completion date etc should be available. Citizens should be able to leave comments and also rate the work. For a given area, it should also be possible to get a report on contracts undertaken in the past for the give time period, projects undertaken by the same contractor elsewhere and overall rating. Finally, a citizen should be able to subscribe to new contracts being created in a particular area.

A one-stop web portal for citizens to report issues. These issues could be anything from complaints for potholes on the road, hawkers occupying half the street, policemen asking for bribe for forwarding passport inquiry papers, anything. Once the issue is recorded, it is assigned to the appropriate department and then the official. The performance of the official is then linked to the number of issues he/she resolved, time taken to resolve it and the complexity of the same. Also, the issue reporting and resolving would get updated on the social network like Facebook, where friends and other people on the network would appreciate their efforts, for reporting as well as resolving. Also, when an issue is reported, other people facing similar issue could second that as well offer solutions. This would empower the people to hold the government transparent and accountable, as well as encourage & motivate officials to carry on their responsibilities honestly, as they would get the recognition directly from the people and this could be considered in their performance appraisals as well. Holding the government accountable is still possible today with RTI, but with this portal, it will become much easier to bring about the much needed accountability in the system.

They should be more transparent on spending of tax earnings. People where our money goes , we don’t want to see them in the pockets of neta and babus. Govt should be immediate responsive to people cries on inflation and hike in prices. They sleeps all the time and wake-up at last when show turned off.

I am a Professor in a deemed University at Ambala having about 20000 students . I notice although the management wants to provide Internet connections to students due to financial and infrastructural causes they are unable to do so. Like most newly created deemed universities it is in a rural area due to which the wireless signals of most companies like Tata Indicom or Reliance are also poor . The University students can pay for the connectivity but being a rural area the connectivity is poor. We shall be grateful if TRAI could pass a law which could direct big companies like BSNL ,Tata Indiacom,AIRCEL and Reliance to provide better preferably 3G  wireless Internet Connectivity signals at our University at a top priority . Rather  it should be binding on Telecom companies to provide good wireless connectivity in areas where there is a deemed university so that students are benefited by this increasingly important educational aid. Just as Government provides roads and electricity to Universities high speed wireless connectivity should be available by law to students also . People can pay as per plans but infrastructure should be there even if in initial phase number of connections is less.
