Information and Communication Technology has opened ample avenues for democratization of the monitoring process of projects and initiatives. Monitoring has generally been viewed as a domain of Government entities aimed at increasing efficiency. It has traditionally been time and effort intensive and only stakeholders with considerable resources had the ability to monitor the status, progress and implementation of a project. However, with advancements in the field of ICT, monitoring of projects is moving from the real world, which has limitations like distance and sparse resources, to the convenience of your mobile phones and handheld devices. This efficient monitoring not only enables officers to optimize the resources available to them, but also helps the citizens track the progress and status of public services and schemes. NIC plays an important role in bringing about this democratization through the various initiatives it has undertaken and made monitoring of projects much simpler. The ‘eGov Products and Services’ section of this issue features a few notable projects that have made monitoring an easier job. The Case Hearing Status mobile App enables lawyers and litigants to track the status of the case progress through their mobile phones. The MOHSOM App utilizes the Geo-tagging technology to allow officers to monitor the various events and projects being undertaken across the state. The MDM ARMS App helps to monitor the workings of the Mid Day Meal program for efficient management. The government of Tamil Nadu has also rolled out an app aimed at assisting Dental Surgeons and Assistants in detecting and managing cases of oral cancer at early stages. In addition to these, there are several articles about the various initiatives that have been rolled out by NIC and its various District Centres. We feature an exclusive interview with Shri Anand Kishor, IAS, as well as take a closer look at the NRC project in the “Spotlight” section. The “Technology Update” section takes a look at the often underestimated threat of Ransomware. Our regular features like “In the News”, “Accolades” and “International e-Gov Update” are here as always. We hope that you find the issue engaging and informative. Happy reading.
