Abstract
This paper presents a need and effectiveness of integrated ICT framework in order to bridge the communication gap between Government and common people in the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

The reasons can be attributed to mainly two factors; firstly, inefficiency of government in implementation and secondly, lack of awareness among people.

Keywords - COVID-19 pandemic, Integrated ICT framework, Inefficiency of government, Communication gap, MahaLabharthi, Loka Sevarthe.
