JAIPUR: The state’s rural development and panchayati raj department has launched e-map and e-work mobile applications for real-time monitoring and effective implementation of all schemes under the department.
Rural development and Panchayati Raj department principal secretary Aparna Arora said real-time monitoring of all state-level schemes under the department will be done on a single portal through the e-map and e-work mobile apps. She said the e-map app has been developed by National Informatics Centre (NIC) in collaboration with German company GIZ and BMZ.
More than 25 rural schemes are being implemented in 352 panchayat samitis, 11,326 gram panchayats and 46,118 villages in the state. There is a budget provision of more than Rs 20,000 crore for these schemes and more than 10 lakh projects are being done through the state-level schemes. “With the help of the app, quality and transparency will definitely be ensured in these schemes,” she said.
E-map and e-work apps will be integrated with the ‘Jan Soochna’ portal. The development of this app and portal will be done in two phases. The first phase was rolled out on Monday and the second phase will be implemented by April 2022.
The e-map will help in visualisation of GIS-based GP plans on the mobile app by field-level functionaries and other stakeholders, giving a boost to ownership, participation and transparency. The platform will manage convergence of activities by line departments and developmental schemes into the GP-GIS enabled plans.
The benefits include generation of real-time work progress at multiple level, enabling convergence of other activities will ensure the clarity of the work done in that area, workforce management of functionaries/users and reporting at appropriate administrative hierarchies/levels, help and support real-time implementation and progress reporting with stage-wise feedback, appropriate site selection/modifications as per technical feasibility and geo-tagging of assets online and offline.
