Shajapur is a town in Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh India named after the Mughal emperor Shahjahan. The district is spread across 1069 villages in 4 sub-divisions and 8 Janpad Panchayats. It is one of the fast developing districts in Madhya Pradesh. NIC District Centre Shahjapur has gradually expanded the ICT based services in the district. It has played a key role in development and implementation of Management Information Systems and Decision Support System for various activities of the district administration. The network and communication infrastructure has been strengthened and extended till the block level on NICNET backbone and the district centre has made valuable contributions towards computerization of DWCRA (Development of Woman and Child in Rural Areas), NAROO Unmoolan and other IT projects. All these applications have received widespread appreciation at state and central level. The district centre has also played a key role in making general public aware of these ICT applications. ONLINE JANSUNVAI OF NISHAKT PEOPLE AN INNOVATION USING ICT Online Jansunvai of Nishakt people is a commendable project of NIC Shajapur for physically challenged people. The project aims to assist people in easy access to the government schemes and programmes. It is an initiative to remove the communication barriers between the physically challenged people and the district administration. The project was initiated by former Collector of Shajapur Mrs. Sonali Vayangankar. Desktop video conferencing facility of NIC has been used to establish the communication channel at the block level. Necessary software and web cameras have been installed on existing computers system at all block headquarters and the physically challenged citizen just needs to walk into these centres and talk to the collector directly through video conferencing and explain their problems without the need of visiting the district hqrs. This system was appreciated by Secretary Panchayat & Social Welfare Department GoMP. With the overwhelming success of the project for physically handicapped citizens a web enabled application has been introduced, for registration of grievances from normal applicants also under Jansunvai, The applications allows the government departments to enter their follow up online and helps the collector to monitor the follow up of departments on weekly basis. The status of application is also available on the district website so that an applicant can know the status of his/her application by entering the registration number of application. Mrs. SONALI VAYANGANKAR (IAS) Former Collector Shajapur With the help of NIC district Centre, we involved the physically challenged citizens in regular JANSUNVAI program. Now they need not travel long distances and wait in long queues to participate in weekly grievances redressal program. They can participate from their nearest block head quarter using NIC’s desktop video conferencing facility. RECORDS MIS This is an application for management of documents related to disposed revenue cases and revenue records. Details of a revenue cases like date of filing, applicant name, date of disposal, description of case, court name, village, RI circle, location details i.e. rack number, bag number etc are entered into the system and various queries and reports are generated based on this data. Till, now more than 1 lakh records have been entered and the system also tracks the transfer details of a case to other courts for reference. It is very difficult to manage such a huge number of revenue records manually and the project has been appreciated by the President Madhya Pradesh Revenue Board. The system has also been implemented in Office of the Chief Election Officer, Madhya Pradesh for their records management.
