Big Data Analytics in E-Governance: A Review

Abstract

Big data analytics play a pivotal role in the effective and efficient management of E-Governance. The amount of data
generated and the pace, at which it is being accumulated, is rising exponentially. The proliferation of artificial intelligence, Web
analytics, Internet of things and other types of emerging technologies are creating new data streams that only adds to traditional data
stores, which gives rise to a new term called “Big Data ”. Big data analytics is the process of uncovering the hidden patterns and
mining knowledge in the sets of Big Data.
E-Governance in the modern world will lead to the creation of large data sets within countries like India where the government is
planning to develop smart cities, which in future will be contributing a large chunk of data. There is a need to discover knowledge for
E-Governance applications and to develop techniques to deal with the challenges of processing these large amounts of data and
transforming them into a compatible homogeneous e-repository of useful information which can be directly used for analytical
purposes. Thus this paper concentrates on the impact of big data analysis for the E-governance. Finally, this paper concludes with the
conceptual knowledge of big data and its implementation in the public administration and E-Governance.
