Abstract

Purpose of the study: The research study is an attempt made to understand the perception of residents on Aadhar card (Biometric identification) as a tool for E-Governance in India.

Methodology: For this study, purposive sampling is used and 400 samples are drawn from educated residents within India. The study has adopted Structural Equation Modeling through AMOS to test the hypotheses and build the conceptual model by using five indicators and 35 items.

Findings: The results reveal that only Reliability has a significant impact on the Efficiency of Aadhar card as an E-Governance tool. The study results indicate that Concern as a factor has a negative impact on Efficiency but statistically insignificant.

Implications of the study: The understanding of the perception of residents on Aadhar card as a tool for E-Governance is important for policymakers to bring in better governance and proper implementation of efficient Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).

Novelty/Originality of the study: The study gives a unique insight into examining the perception of residents as to how efficient Aadhar card is as a tool for E-Governance.
