NIC Gujarat has developed and implemented a web system for monitoring the news published in the State/National newspapers concerned with the modus operandi of the Government and its Departments in Gujarat. Director of Information initiated this to assist the Hon’ble Chief Minister in keeping a watch on news items related to Government in 43 major daily newspapers published in and outside Gujarat. The brief of the media reports published are added either in Gujarati or in English on a day-to-day basis and monitored by the Director of Information and CM Office. A follow-up mechanism is also a part of the system for the respective departments to view reports pertaining to them. As and when the reply is received from the concerned department, it can be updated. The date on which the newspaper publishes its clarification/rebuttal is also updated. The news clippings are scanned and attached with the news item for reference.
