Knowledge Management & e-Governance

“Baalasya moolam gyanam” (Knowledge is strength)

In the 21 Century, the industrial economy has moved to a Knowledge Economy; the new source of wealth is knowledge. Knowledge Management (KM) is “about capturing, creating, distilling and using (explicit and tacit) know-how” that critical knowledge (selected from the vast, ever expanding ocean) which is most crucial for achieving specific organizational goals. Knowledge Management ensures availability of right knowledge at the right time in the right place. KM has become imperative in today's context due to such strategic advantages as avoiding wasteful 'reinventing the wheel', enabling faster/ better decision-making and time/ resource saving.
