NIC Centre
The NIC Nanded District Centre is actively involved in spreading informatics culture in the various Government offices located in the District. NIC Centre was established in the District in the year 1988-89 and since then, it has never looked back at the old manual era. In the last 3-4 years NIC Nanded has accomplished major IT projects.
Feathers in the Cap... Some of the major projects accomplished by NIC Nanded include:
Land Records Computerization
Land Records computerization was started in the District in 1997-98 and in a record time, data entry of Property Registration Cards (PR Cards) has been computerized. For the last 2 years computerized PR cards are being issued to the landholders in Nanded city. Now the system is being upgraded from Unix based platform to Linux and GUI platforms.
Information and Facilitation Centre (eSuvidha)
This is another prestigious project, which was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra State. This project is unique in itself as the certificates / licenses issued from the offices of Collector, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Tahasildar, Block Development Officer, Taluka Inspector of Land Records, Sub Registrar, Renewal and Duplicate Licenses Officer have been clubbed together. Licenses / Certificate from all these offices are now accepted & issued through this centre called eSuvidha (electronic facility). This centre also caters to the needs of common man by providing blank application forms and bond papers with computer based printing for filing affidavits and stamps. Even a communication centre has been established with equipments like PCO / STD machine, Xerox, email and Internet. This has been a great help to the citizens who do not need to run anymore to various places for different work. Another facilitation centre has also been started in the District’s Zilla Parishad. The Facilitation centres at Collector’s Office, Zilla Parishad and Municipal Corporation are acting like extension counters of District NIC Centre, where the training of staff and other technical support has been extended by NIC Nanded.
Single Window System in Municipal Corporation
This is a paid project for computerization of Municipal Corporation of Nanded District. In the first phase, NIC has activated computer based Single Window System (SWS), which has proved very useful for the citizens to apply for various permits as well as lodge their grievance.
District Court Nanded
Nanded District Court is the first in the state to get fully computerized. All the court cases have been entered in District Court Information System (DCIS) and now the court staff is able to draw case results, daily boards and other information from this software. In all 59,982 cases have been computerized for both Upper and Lower courts. A proposal from NIC Nanded has been submitted to the District Court for starting a facilitation centre in court premises, which will be another landmark for NIC Nanded.
NIC Nanded has also assisted the Court staff at District Court Nanded in building a CDROM containing various circulars received from the Government since 1957.
