SWOT Analysis of e-Initiative in Uttarakhand

having completed more than 9 years as a separate state, is now poised to embark on a new era of rapid development and inclusive growth. The broad features of the administrative structure and systems, extending from the state to the district and sub-district levels, are now in place, though the problem of shortage of manpower in crucial areas remains. The Eleventh Five Year Plan gives a good opportunity to launch the State on the path of rapid and sustained growth with emphasis on rural development, education and welfare of the state. The previous plan was prepared at a time when the State was quite young. The administrative system was in the stage of infancy and adequate administrative support and expert assistance for planning were not available. The financial resource position of the State was quite precarious, when the State came into existence. Despite constraints, Uttarakhand has made rapid advancement and has posted a significant high rate of growth.
