Even today, the statistical tools are rarely used in the region of e-governance for better policy development. This chapter discusses the use of cluster analysis in classifying a large amount of data into sub-groups (known as clusters), which are homogeneous in a certain sense, and analyzes each sub-group separately to find solutions for each of them.
