Project: The Government of Himachal has finalised an action plan for total computerisation of the Rural Development Department which would cover all the 76 development blocks and 3,243 Gram Panchayats of the hilly Indian state.
The block management information system (MIS), a computerised solution developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) for maintenance of accounts and monitoring of construction works, will be implemented in all the 76 blocks.
Opportunities: Video conferencing facility will be created in each block with total expenditure of about Rs 4 crore. This facility will be used for providing training to functionaries at block level about various schemes of Rural Development.
It will also be used by the farmers for taking advice from the experts of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries departments. The network will be extended to the agriculture and horticulture universities also.
MIS Software called 'Swaraj' will be implemented in at least 100 Panchayats on pilot basis in the first phase and afterwards it will be rolled out in all the 3,243 Panchayats in the state.
