Abstract

The North-East of India has been a hotly debated territory of India with voices coming up from different states such as Nagaland, Manipur and Assam demanding separate nations for themselves. These separatist agitations have got further confounded with a constant influx of Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh which began to impinge on the local cultural identities and demographics. This resulted in a prolonged militancy coupled with agitations yielding space for the Pakistani/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh based militants to infiltrate into India through porous borders of the North East and engage some disgruntled ultra outfits in the North East to wage a battle against India. In fact, Naga agitation for separate country bears a lot of similarity with the LTTE’s struggle for separate Eelam in Sri Lanka. Both have a lot of diaspora support and web-based campaign movements (Maya Ranganathan, 2010: 127-149). All these developments have complicated the prospects of the economic and industrial growth in this region. This resulted in the staggering illiteracy and unemployment for over a decade. Towards addressing the problems of the region, the government of India has taken a political decision to establish as many as seven central universities under its direct funding to ensure that the region gets the best education which might contribute further for enhanced employment opportunities in the region. Also, various department under Assam Government such as the Tourism Department, Health Department, Education Department, Social welfare Department etc has been provided with e-governance facilities for the users. The study assumes significance from the point of view that how far the e-services of various departments leads to the sustainable growth of the state and what is the role of media, government and educational institutes to improve the sustainable growth of the states through e-services.

媒体和政府在阿萨姆邦可持续发展中的作用
印度东北部一直是印度领土争议的热点,来自那加兰邦、曼尼普尔邦和阿萨姆邦等不同邦的声音都要求独立建国。来自孟加拉国的穆斯林移民不断涌入,开始冲击当地的文化特征和人口结构,这进一步混淆了这些分离主义的煽动。这导致了长期的战斗,同时也为巴基斯坦/斯里兰卡/孟加拉国的武装分子提供了空间,他们可以通过东北边界的漏洞渗透到印度,并与东北一些心怀不满的极端组织接触,对印度发动一场战争。事实上,纳加为独立国家所做的鼓动与泰米尔猛虎组织在斯里兰卡为独立的伊拉姆所做的斗争有很多相似之处。两者都有大量的侨民支持和基于网络的运动(Maya Ranganathan, 2010: 127-149)。所有这些事态发展使本区域经济和工业增长的前景复杂化。这导致了十多年来惊人的文盲和失业。为了解决该地区的问题,印度政府已作出政治决定,在其直接资助下建立多达七所中央大学,以确保该地区获得最好的教育,这可能有助于进一步增加该地区的就业机会。此外,阿萨姆邦政府的各个部门,如旅游部、卫生部、教育部、社会福利部等,都为用户提供了电子政务设施。从各个部门的电子服务在多大程度上导致了国家的可持续增长以及媒体、政府和教育机构通过电子服务改善国家的可持续增长的作用的角度来看,该研究具有重要意义。
