Abstract:
The developed and developing countries both have payed attention towards modernization of
public sector in which m-govemment is one of the important factors. Spreading of
information and communication technologies in the globalization context has been reasoned
for this. Providing the information and services thorough telephones, mobile phones and
wireless network is considered as m-govemment. M-govemment applications are used not
only in developed countries but also in developing countries too. Sri Lanka is no exception;
Information Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) operates several m-govemment
projects in Sri Lanka. Government Information Centre (GIC) is one of the projects in m govemment. Objectives of this research are to analyze and investigate the functions of GIC
in the framework of m-govemment. Data was collected from secondary sources such as
books, newspapers, internet sources, and documents available with the GIC. Results revealed
lack of knowledge in receiving the information and services via the mobile, lack of private
pubic partnership (PPP). Encouraging the people to expose for the m-govemment and the
assistance of governmental departments towards this will enhance the GIC. At last, it is also
expected to through a more light on the grounds of m-govemment in Sri Lanka.
