The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) is an initiative of the
Government of India to make all government services available to the citizens of
India via
electronic media.
NeGP was formulated by the Department of
Electronics and
Information Technology (DeitY) and Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG). The Government approved the National e-Governance Plan, consisting of 27 "Mission Mode Projects" (MMPs) and 8 components (now 31, 4 new added in 2011 viz Health, Education, PDS & Posts), on 18 May 2006.
This is an enabler of
Digital India initiative, and
UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) in turn is an enabler of NeGP.
"Meta data and data standards" is the official document describing the standards for common metadata as part of
India's National e-Governance Plan.

The report cited several prior initiatives as sources of inspiration, including references to the

Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances (DAR&PG). The program required the development of new applications to allow citizen access to government services through
