Abstract	Electronic Governance (E-governance) in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) System is the utilization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for the governance and management of the ODL institutions. This includes planning, implementation, and monitoring of university programs, projects, and activities. Interest in e-governance is growing with the increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT) by government to improve the quality of governance and service delivery. ODL system, commonly known a distance education, has evolved as an effective medium to support the increasing demand for education of a variety of learners, in a developing country like India. In the 21st Century, most of the learners entering the ODL institutions are digital natives. This makes it more important that the e-governance is an integral part of the ODL system to deliver cost-effective education, with dedicated learner services, and improved processing of transactions within the institution, and between the government and other agencies. In this paper we discuss about e-governance in distance education context. We also highlight some of the important initiatives such as implementation of enterprise resource planning solution, online admission system, national open and distance learners' library and information network, taken by Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), a premier Open University in India, towards e-governance. The paper also discusses various issues and challenges related to the planning, development and implementation of e-governance projects and initiatives in an ODL institution. (As Provided).
