Abstract: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have received special attention in the pursuit of good governance and have been regarded as the source of development in contemporary times. Since ICTs are efficient and reliable, they are now working in most countries as a mechanism for good governance and development. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of ICTs as a mechanism for good governance and rural development in the context of India. Emphasis has also been given to identify some of the ICT tools needed for good governance and suggest policy directions that will foster best practices for the science and technology ministry in India. A desktop research approach was used in this paper to evaluate some technical details on the ICT tools in achieving good governance and rural development in India. In conclusion, appropriate policy suggestions for optimal use of ICT in promoting good governance and rural development in India have been suggested.
