In a step forward towards e-governance, the Assam Government has adopted to monitor their various people-oriented schemes through a web-enabled software developed at the NIC Assam State Unit, Guwahati. The software, which was developed on the request of the Chief Minister's Secretariat, was demonstrated and formally launched at a Deputy Commissioners' conference held on 22nd and 23rd April 2002. The online system, very aptly named as Performance Evaluation and Enhancement Programme (PEEP), is used to monitor the monthly status of the Government Schemes implemented in the districts.
