E-GOVERNANCE(AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE) AND ‘COLLECTORATE-2000’

WHY NEED E-GOVERNANCE ?

In simple terms Electronic Governance can be defined as giving Citizens the choice of when and

where they access government information and services. Putting the Citizen at the centre of government means taking a delivery channel view. This would mean using more and more of Electronics & Information Technology in many of the government functions.

There is tremendous importance for rules and procedures in the government. Unless the records

are kept properly, accessing information and tracing the precedents becomes time consuming and this is one of the reasons for the delays in government administration. Secondly, rules and procedures lead to enormous red tape and delay and this in turn leads to corruption. Today, we

find that the present paper based system is very time consuming and inefficient. The rules, procedures can be made transparent to the citizens, information can be made freely available to

the citizen, trace precedents faster and in short, improve the pace of effectiveness of governance by using Information Technology.

Importance of Electronic Governance :

A 'joined up' government-community-citizen infrastructure has its own significance. A strong and effective information chain, comprising a choice of practical, accessible and manageable channels of communication has a dual benefit. Citizens enjoy a fast and convenient

'service', whilst government not only becomes more integrated into the community itself, but can focus its resources where they are needed most. Moreover, a culture of self-service enables

citizens to 'help themselves' wherever possible, saving time and money for all concerned. In fact, Information Technology and Information Highways are going to dominate the next

century. Government therefore has to take this fact into account and create SMART governance (simple, moral, accountable, responsive and transparent government). Hence the significance of

electronics governance.


PART 1:

ELECTRONIC GOVERNANCE( AN

INDIAN PERSPECTIVE) AND

COLLECTORATE-2000 SOFTWARE


ELECTRONIC GOVERNANCE – A PRELUDE

1. Information Age Government :

The advent of Information Technology as a highly leveraged enabling tool for delivery of

products and services has now redefined the fundamentals and changed the institutions and mechanisms of delivery forever. This Information Age paradigm shift is characterised by Citizen and Business focus integration driven as it were by the choice of service providers and means of

access. In this context the concept of Public Governance has not gone unaffected. It too has seen a fundamental shift in the concept, manner and method by which the State has deliver its services.

This new practise of administration of the Public has developed into the concept of Electronic Governance.

2. Definition:

Electronic Governance is the application of Information Technology to the processes of Government functioning to bring about

Simple

Moral Accountable Responsive and

Transparent Governance.

3. Vision Statement:

The Department of Electronics has taken upon itself the charge of translating this definition into

definitive reality by:

Harnessing advances in IT and the opportunities so presented to restructure Government, Citizen and Business interfaces with the objective of better governance.

Establishing institutional mechanisms to facilitate initiatives towards synergic utilisation of IT as an enabling tool for efficiency and effectiveness in public administration.

Targeting to achieve at least 25% of the government dealings & services to be delivered

electronically through computers, telecommunication, TV within 5 years.


4. Strategic Imperatives:

The Vision is sought to be achieved by:

Developing the institution of Nodal Officers both within the MIT as well as corresponding

Departments in the Government of India for quick initiation and transfer of suitable technologies and packages enabling Electronic Governance (EG).

Leveraging resources of various Ministries/Departments & Public Sector Institutions of

the Government of India to enable adoption & adaption of objectives of electronic delivery of services.

Encouraging development of similar mechanisms and dedicated institutions at the State level.

Encouraging various Constitution Bodies to adopt EG as a tool for more effective delivery

of services and administration. Addressing privacy concerns through a clear statement of continuing commitment to the

data protection and Internet security methods both in the Public and Private domain.

5. Objectives and Indicative Road Map (OIRP) :

1. Identify functional areas in every Ministry/Department most necessary to be taken up as

also these which are easily assessable to EG.

2. Make an inventory of existing applications/packages both domestic and international facilitating Electronics Governance (EG).

3. Initiate moves to encourage Central and State Governments to develop and link, already

existing databases to the public domain.

4. Initiate and develop Data Warehouses in every Ministry & Department to facilitate the process of EG.

5. Leverage resources and activities in the various State Governments for Data Base building activity.

6. Initiate and develop pilot projects in applications that are currently not available so as to

extend full benefit of IT.

7. Develop and integrate suitable models in areas of Electronic Governance where systems are being developed independently by Central or State organs.

8. Encourage both Centre and State Governments to prescribe knowledge of computers as

an essential qualification for recruitment/promotion at various levels.

9. To launch & ensure wide participation of existing staff in computer literacy programmes.


10. Develop system for seamless transfer of information between offices dealing with public administration both in the Centre as well as the State.

11. Set up and or facilitate specific communication networks for the Government sector

12. Assist Central and State Governments in identification and implementation of suitable hardware and software packages for Electronic Governance.

13. Establish links worldwide with institutions engaged in similar activities so as to optimize and synergies benefits, by building sustaining platform for interchange of ideas &

experiences.

14. Initiate amendments in Central and State Acts, Rules and Regulations under various departments and ministries to put in place IT and Web enabled Citizen Services.

15. Establish organisations for advising Government regarding development of strategies

for use of Information Technology by Government so that latest technologies and best practices are harnessed. This could take the form of National Electronics Government

Project/Unit/ (NEGP)/(NEGU) on the lines of Central Information Technology Unit (CITU) set up in UK in Nov., 1995.

16. Develop special pilot projects on Paperless Government-On-Line through an electronics “Intelligent Government” concept by extensive use of Electronic Forms and

Data Entry Interfaces through use of web and internet technology.

17. Build convergence into connected Services Delivery programmes relating to the citizen devices.

18. Develop commercial and governmental systems for issuing and managing digital

signatures/electronic signatures smart cards.

19. Identify measures for suitable protection of data during filling up, transmission and against alterations by using combination of security measures.

20. Launch the 25% target of Electronically Governance widely and enabled suitable

milestones and makers to monitor them.

21. Establish Industry Consultative Committees (ICC), Citizen Consultative Committees (CCC) and Ministries Consultative Committees (MCC) to provide a fora to various users and implementation groups and organisations to contribute towards the 25 % goal and

beyond. These committees could discuss

o Exchange of information and views on the direction of the Government‟s IT strategy, opportunities for a whole of Government approach, and emerging trends

in the industry o Identify key issues associated with electronic service delivery, including generic


areas for possible partnership working which can be considered by CITU in conjunction with departments and agencies

o Discuss the possible strategic and policy framework which would guide Government to develop plural channels for service delivery in an integrated

manner.

22. Development of existing Facilitation Centres already established in various departments as One Stop Shop (OSS) giving One Click Link (OCL) to all information required by the citizen through convergent use of linking, programme & multiple data

entry mechanism.

23. Coordinate activities of Information Technology - Citizen Interface set up by the National Task Force on Information Technology and Software Development, as also the

High Powered Committee on Improving Efficiency in Government through use of IT under the Chairmanship of Cabinet Secretary.

24. Establish Government Information Services (GIS) and facilitate the setting up of

National Information Infrastructure incorporatong links with GII on one hand and State Information Infrastructure, District Information Infrastructure, Local Information Infrastructure (LII) and other networking systems on the other, so as to enable seamless

transfer of information multilaterally between users and providers of information and services.

25. Enable Ministries in Government of India as well as State Governments to formulate

scheme for selected activities and possible suitable resources facilitation to encourage the same.

6. Operational Strategy:

Inorder to put in place the above objectives certain operational strategies need to be structured so

as to translate and actualise the objectives. This would involve

Development of a suitable organisational structure Development of appropriate operational links

6.1 Organisational Structure

Once a decision is taken to implement and actualise the Objectives of EG as discussed

above as a National Project (NEGP) the operational Unit would be driven by a team of officers headed by a Joint Secretary. With convergence of technologies being the essence of Electronic Governance, other Divisions and officers would contribute from time to time.

Secretarial help to the Unit (NEGU) would be essentially from the existing resources. The idea being to leverage the existing staff and support infrastructure available to the fullest in

a synergic mode.

6.2 Organisational Links


Their would be three operational links to the above Project Team through

o Interaction with the User Groups comprising of Industry, Citizen service dedicated organisations and eminent members of the public with interests in the subject. This

could be the Citizen or User Expert Groups (UEG). o Interaction through a Steering Group (SG) comprising of key

departments/ministries represented at the respective JS levels and identified initially for implementation of EG across their functional areas. Institutional help from specialised bodies like IIPA could be suitably co-opted in this group.

o The third expert group would comprise of solely Industry and Business representatives as inputs and interactions are strategically essential for giving a

Industry focus to the Project. This would be the Industry and Business Expert Group (IBEG).

7. Time Frame:


COLLECTORATE-2000: AN E-PERSPECTIVE

Initial strategy formulation sessions would lead to more intense workshops on implementation mechanisms and schemes/schedules identification. Tasks would be set and clear time schedules

and action interfaces clarified. This would be firmed up within the next three months. Thereafter the monthly monitoring of identified events would be followed up rigorously.

8. Financial commitments:

In order to give the Project a specific focus, the NEGP would be financed through a separate

budget head set up for the purpose. Available budget heads would also be leveraged for addressing expenditures for the Project. This would also enable mission critical linkages and avoid

rework and duplication. For FY 98-99, an allocation should be made of Rs 2 crs for meeting expenditures on expert studies and other project related activities. The same would be re-appropriated from the budget of the NII. For FY 99-2000 and later on for FY 2000-2001

appropriate expenditures in the aforementioned separate budget head would be structured.

9. Control and Monitoring:

In brief therefore, the key agenda for the implementing departments would be develop and encourage the uptake rate of the technology for electronic delivery of services. This would be

driven by users needs and mechanisms to support them in new systems so developed. The government would have to respond by implementing systems that are citizen centered and not

reinforce bureaucratic procedures and processes. The extra benefits accruing to the target user group would need to be clearly outlined and it would not be just a case of moving up the queue from the counter to the kiosk. For this a series of indicators would be identified to control and

monitor the whole process of change. The important components of this would be

Speed of carrying out transaction and delivery of a particular service

Convenience and access Flexibility in options and time periods of service

Empowerment by bringing services closer to the public and letting them choose as to how and when to carry out the transactions.

In responding to the challenge, the government would have to monitor and develop control

mechanisms to allay public fear of confidentiality of services along with assured simplicity of delivery procedures. Only then would a sustainable and enduring frame-work of Electronic Governance find place in public belief and confidence.


1. PRELUDE :

During late 1980s, National Informatics Centre (NIC) has taken up the NICNET

programme for implementing the All India Satellite based Government Informatics Network connecting various District Collectorates, State Government Secretariats and Central Government Offices in Delhi through a VSAT based network `NICNET'.

In 1988 in all the District Collectorates, VSATs have been installed (C200 model) with a

speed of 1.2 kbps along with one computer system and two Technical Officers of NIC. Subsequently, in mid 1990s, the NICNET facility was enhanced with IPA/FTDMA

VSAT Earth Station with a speed of 64 kbps (shared) for Internet browsing purposes in the Collectorate. The AP Government has also established high speed APSWAN (AP State Wide Area Network) connecting all District Collectorates with the State Secretariat.

With such high speed networking infrastructure between Districts and the State

Secretariat, it is considered that a LAN (Local Area Network)) within the Collectorate is essential and initially 22 Client Systems along with 1 Server System were provided in

each Collectorate. In a few Districts such as Khammam, a LAN was also installed with these systems. However, it has been considered that for future expansion, an exhaustive LAN with about 100 notes covering all the seats in the Collectorate will be required and

accordingly in Kakinada (East Godavari) Collectorate the LAN with 100 nodes has been installed by NIC(APSU) during November, 2000. In some Districts such as Khammam

where the LAN is already operational, work flow automation across various sections could be achieved through implementation of FMS (File Monitoring System).

The FMS performs the work flow automation of moving the documents from table to table and section to section in the Collectorate on the LAN approaching a "paper less" or

"less paper office". However, the FMS was attempting only automation of the file movement and work flow but was not dealing with any functional processing of various

activities in the functions of the Collectorate.

2. `COLLECTORATE 2000' AT DISTRICT COLLECTORATES:

Project "Collectorate 2000" (C2K) was conceived by National Informatics Centre (AP State Unit) during April/May'2000. This project as explained below covers all the

functional processes in the District Collectorate in a comprehensive manner. The C2K software developed by NIC(APSU) was implemented on a field trial pilot basis at Khammam District Collectorate. The field trial was also completed successfully in

September/October, 2000 with a suit of 24 packages which are the various software modules of C2K Project as explained below.

The District Collectorate is the seat of the State Government in the District. All the State

Government Departments are represented in the District at the Collectorate and associated offices.


The core functions of the Collectorate encompassing the Revenue functions, Land related matters and the magisterial functions dealing with Law & Order, Arms Licenses, etc.,

form the main activities.

In addition, various types of Welfare schemes, relief and rehabilitation also form the functions in the Collectorate. The associate directorate functions as Civil Supplies,

Family Welfare also are important.

All these activities are based on the work flow or file movement within the Collectorate and associated offices.

The `Collectorate 2000' software developed by National Informatics Centre (AP State

Unit), Government of India, Ministry of Information Technology, attempts at automating all the above identified functions with about 24 (twenty four) software modules, each module relating to individual function.

The workflow automation is achieved by integration FMS (File Monitoring System) with

the individual modules of `Collectorate 2000'. Thus by implementing `Collectorate 2000' software along with FMS or workflow automation on a LAN (Local Area Network)

within Collectorate, it is possible to fully automate all the important functions of the Collectorate thereby eliminating the unnecessary paper work and delays.

The entire system is based on a LAN connecting all seats in the Collectorate with

computer systems (initially 22 client systems and one server to be expandable later).

`Collectorate 2000' software modules can operate either within an integrated mode with workflow automation (File Monitoring System) on a LAN or can also operate independently in stand-alone mode (without FMS). The GUI (Graphic User Interface)

in the client side is developed in Visual Basic with the backend server supporting

Oracle 8 RDBMS (SQL server version will also be available). Some modules are also

web based with public accessibility through Internet.

Surrendered Extremists

Civilians killed/injured by Extremists Property Damaged By Extremists

2. Deaths occuring in

Lockups

Communal Violences Open Firing Accidents

In all the above cases public, MRO, SP or any other person can give a complaint to the

collector. Collector calls MRO and SP for enquiry report. Basing on the enquiry report he takes the decision and sends a copy to Government for further action if necessary and a

copy is also sent to Human Rights department at NEW DELHI.

Extremists & Naxalites: When an extremist or naxalite surrenders to a Minister / Police / Collector / Magistrate , for him to lead a normal life the collector of his present district gives an exgratia amount of Rs. 5000/- and a house site and also gives recommendations

to banks for loans under self employment schemes.

If a civilian is killed in an encounter between police and extremists and if private property is damaged in the encounter by extremists, government announces exgratia

which is allotted by the collector.

Deaths: Collector appoints JC or DRO who are called Addl. District Magistrates to enquire the Post Mortem Report and witness etc. Collector sends the enquiry report of the

JC or DRO with his remarks to the Government for further action.

The objective of this application is to help the collector(ate) in monitoring the different types of cases which disrupt the normal life by taking suitable measures to reduce the


same, the status of approvals of exgratia whether pending or issued, amount issued, person benefitted, rehabilitation schemes provided.

4.11 ARMS LICENSING SYSTEM:

Arms Licensing comes under the Judicial Powers of Collector. Individuals apply for Licenses to possess and use arms for the purposes of self-protection, crop protection or for both. The District collector is the authority to issue Arms Licenses to the applicants,

depending on the merits of the case based on report received from the Superintendent of Police.

Each Licensee is allowed to possess a maximum of three arms (like Pistols, Single-barrel

and Double-barrel Guns, etc). There can be any number of retainers for each arm who will physically hold and use the weapon in case of necessity. The system captures and maintains personal details of the Licensee and all the retainers, details of the weapons and

the ammunition, dates of expiry of the license, date before which the arm has to be produced for verification and date by which the arm has to be surrendered in the Police

Station or the Arms Dealer. The Licensee can also apply for sale of his arm(s) or renewal his License.

The Arms Licensing Monitoring System allows for data entry under three sub-modules:

Arms Licencing - To enter ddetails of New Arms Licence (like licence holder name, his

address, licence date, date on which licence expires, name of weapons under that licence, bore of the weapon, make of the weapon, category of licence, quantity of ammunation allowed per year and at given point of time etc).

Sale permission of Arms - Applied for sale or not, whether approved for sale or not etc.

Renewal of Arms Licencing - Renewal details of Licence like date of renewal, Renwal

valid from, renewal valid upto etc.

Using the Query module, option details of licences can be viewd on the computer. User can query /search even with partial name of paritial licence no or on licence date (less
