Meanwhile, Khushali Oza also conveyed the practice of e-government in India which has a program with an application called "Suwidha". This application is used as a media for complaints from Indian society against public services provided by the government.

Public complaints must be resolved within 24 hours of reporting. This program is considered to have been successfully implemented in India. Khushali Oza added that 65% of e-governmentprojects have been completed and successful.

Although they still face obstacles in remote rural areas caused by inadequate infrastructure and people accustomed to using technology. The e-government system has a strategic step in encouraging the transformation of public services.

Through the implementation of sophisticated information and communication technology, the implementation of e-government is a form of effort to provide easier, transparent and efficient access to the public.
