Abstract This study comprehensively evaluates  the transformational role of e-governance or Electronic Governance, in strengthening good governance in Uttarakhand, through a policy and administrative lens.Within the framework of broadened  digital push in India, post the Digital India initiative in 2015, the state of Uttarakhand has evolved as a driving agent, adopting various Information and Communication Technology (ICT) initiatives targeted  at enhancing  transparency, accountability, efficiency and citizen-centric public service delivery. The study starts with exploring the theoretical and conceptual foundations of e-governance and its inherent connection with good governance ideals. It then looks closely at the digital policy landscape and the emerging architecture of e-governance in the nation & state, spotlighting flagship initiatives such as the Apuni Sarkar Portal, Samarth Portal,Rojgar Prayag portal etc. The paper subsequently review  the practical implementation of these flagship initiatives, scrutinizing how they have reshaped and redefined the existing administrative processes and enhanced  access to public services. Deliberate attention is given to how e-governance is being blended into holistic public policy and administrative overhaul strategies. Through a comprehensive evaluation of results, including achievements and remaining organisational and grassroots hurdles, the study reveals key sectors for improvement. The conclusion displays  a long term roadmap for a more inclusive, just, innovative and technologically empowered governance model in Uttarakhand, proposing insights for policymakers, research scholars and governance experts in other  developing hilly states of India.
