offering services on demand over the network to perform operations that meet changing business needs. The location of physical resources and devices being accessed are typically not known to the end user. The concept of cloud computing and visualization are vital due to their reduced cost improved machine utilization, reduced

Cloud computing is a technology that allows us to access applications that reside at various location other than our computer; most often, this will be a distant data center. In this paper, we analyze cloud computing and examines its

application in the context of e-Governance. As existing e-Governance projects in India are facing many challenges, from development to

administration time and infrastructure cost. The beauty of cloud computing is that a company handle the costs of servers, they manage the software updates.

implementation. We propose the use of cloud computing in e-Governance which aims to deliver more interactive services to citizens and country. This concept of E-Governance using cloud provides new and ideal solutions to face various challenges cloud computing may leads to significant cost saving. 2.

restrictions of network bandwidth, security exposures and legal requirements that using public cloud services might entail. In private cloud, the networks used are restricted and designated.

4.3 Hybrid Cloud: A hybrid cloud is a combination of a public and private cloud that interoperates. In this model users typically outsource non business-

4.1 Public Cloud: Public cloud services are

critical information and processing to the public cloud, while keeping business-critical services and data in their control. 5. CLOUD BENEFITS: Significant Cost Reduction: Increased Flexibility Access anywhere Elastic scalability and pay-as-you-go Easy to implement Service quality 6. E-GOVERNANCE:
E-Governance is the application of Information and communication Technology (ICT) for delivering government information, services include Government to Government (G2G): Various functions of government interact with each other to fulfil the work. Government to Enterprise (G2E): Enterprises like water board, electricity are controlled by the Services to citizens, exchange of

The term public does not always mean free, even though it can be free or fairly inexpensive to use. public cloud vendors typically provide an access control mechanism for their users. Public clouds provide an elastic, cost effective means to deploy solutions.

4.2 Private Cloud: A private cloud offers many of the benefits of a public cloud computing environment, such as being elastic and service based. The difference between a private cloud and a public cloud is that in a private cloud-based service, data and processes are

governments are not integrated. This is mainly due to the lack of communication between different departments. Let us overcome the above challenges by moving to cloud architecture.

7. OUR PROPOSED MODEL OF E-GOVERNANCE: Our proposed system of e-Governance deploying cloud architecture provides following

services. 7.1 Software as a Service (SaaS): Numerous applications can be provided as standard services, where departments can request and manage online without wait for development. Some of the applications can be: Birth , death , cast certificates management System Job portal to provide employment support to users E-Procurement management system E-police, E-court Municipal management system

6.1 Challenges in current system: Software license: For each data center and application the licensing is required. Therefore cost would add up. Scalability: Population increases day by day. So scalability demands change over time. It has to frequently upgrade to meet these challenges which increase hardware and software

redundancy. Cost: The current system incurs more costs when modification is required. For example,

Water Boards, Electric, Telephone Billing and Payment Systems. District Management Solutions

The servlet handles the request and share it among nodes. On the back end of the system are the variouscomputers, servers and data storage

departments requiring resources for new Operating system or new Database software they can request and get resources instantly. Some of the working platforms that PaaS provide are: Dynamic Operating System Dynamic Query Service 7.3 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): When operating from cloud using IaaS model eGovernance applications can use unlimited supply of CPU, storage and bandwidth.
8. CLOUD IN E-GOVERNANCE: Public Cloud Our e-governance model proposes public cloud thereby enabling the citizens all over the country to

Access information over the cloud about government activities. Reduce machines. Avoid wastage of resources through sharing of computing resources. 8.3 Working of the components of cloud The request is processed and service is provided to the web browser The request is processed and service is provided to the web browser. the cost of getting higher-end

8.1 WORKING: The end user first request for a service through HTML front end of the client browser. The request is sent to the servlet.

Services online. Cloud computing would obviously take e-governance to the next level. In this paper, we have given an idea of implementing cloud computing in e-governance but there are some security concerns. So to provide a successful cloud e-governance we are still working on authentication and the facilities for interacting with the experts.

railway or Indian bank ATM services requires a model which can offer 24 hours and all 365 days online services to end users , for that a great infrastructure availability is required . There is a need of unlimited supply of power, CPU services, applications and server services. We can add and subtract the services and infrastructure support as we need.

10. CONCLUSION: In India most of the states are willing to adopt the e-Governance model to offer government
