2. Approval for an outlay of Rs 1663.08 crore spread over years 2011-2012 to 2014-2015 with an expenditure of Rs 541.22 crore in the Eleventh Five Year Plan and of Rs 1121.86 crore in the 12th Five Year Plan.
3. Approval of constitution of an Empowered Committee for coordinating the implementation of the Project.
What is National e Governance Plan?
The National e Governance Plan (NeGP) was introduced in May 2006, with a vision to -- Make all Government Services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realize the basic needs of the common man.
In pursuance of this vision under NeGP, 27 Central, State and Integrated Mission Mode projects (MMPs) along with 8 support components were identified and approved. States can identify upto 5 additional state-specific projects, which are particularly relevant for the economic development of the State. NeGP also envisages creation of the core IT infrastructure in the form of State Wide Area Networks (SWANs), State Data Centres (SDCs) State Service Delivery Gateways (SSDGs) and one lakh Front Ends namely Common Services Centres (CSCs), in rural areas across the country to deliver public services electronically.
e-District is one of the 27 MMPs under NeGP, with the Department of Information Technology (DIT), Government of India as the nodal Department, to be implemented by State Government or their designated agencies. The MMP aims at electronic delivery of identified high volume citizen centric services, at such district and sub-district level, which are not part of any other MMP.
Estimated total project cost for the nation-wide rollout of e-District MMP is Rs 1663.08 crore, out of which Government of India's share is estimated to be Rs 1233.08 crore and States' share Rs 430 crore.
Advantages of e-District:
• Citizens will be able to access Government to Citizen (G2C) services close to their houses through Common Service Centers (CSCs) in an integrated manner.
• Service delivery of G2C services will be responsive, transparent and accountable at Districts and Sub-District offices.
• Citizens will have to travel less distance, make less trips to Government offices and also will have to wait for much less time to get these services delivered to them.
• Citizen can track the progress of the application/request online.
• Offices and Sub-Offices of district administration will get modernized and Government processes automated which will ultimately empower the citizens.
