It is unfortunate for all Bangladeshis' that Bangladesh has ranked as the worlds' most corrupted country for five sequent years (2001-2005) according to the report of Transparency International (TI). It is an arduous task thing to remove man to man corruption and political corruption within a short time. But it can be facile to reduce corruption in government sectors by a well-planned strategy of e-governance. This paper explains corruption and its bad impact, necessity of applying e-governance, conquest through using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for reducing corruption and some additional works of e-governance.
