Abstract
ABSTRACTThe rise in digital governance platforms for shared decision-making has been a matter of introspection for academicians worldwide. However, the effectiveness of government-run e-participation platforms in terms of their viability, the effectiveness of policies as an outcome of these platforms, and their challenges and limitations require further examination. myGov is the Government of India’s citizen engagement platform which collaborates with multiple government bodies to engage with citizens for policy formulation. This study analyses the platform to understand the characteristics of e-participation and, most importantly, the hindrances and constraints that impede people’s participation in shared decision-making.KEYWORDS: People participationmyGovpublic policydigital platformIndia AcknowledgmentsThe author is grateful to all anonymous reviewers of this article for their formative feedback and insightful suggestions.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data supporting the results and analyses presented in this paper are available in the public domain on the myGov portal (mygov.in).
