Scenario
The wide range of activities carried
out by the District Administration involves processing bulk amount of Data in
quick time and hence utilization of IT tools became imperative, which otherwise
could affect the credibility and efficiency of the
recent past with
the introduction of IT and is
likely ex
pected to bring a holistic change in the
system as a whole. The District Administration has adopted a pragmatic approach
towards the establishment of transparent, effective and e-governed
administration with the pro-active support and consultancy of NIC District Centre. The
primary motto is mobilization of existing man power resources and switch over to
computerized systems from manual one. The initial steps are highly difficult but
not impossible.
Launching of
the official web site is a step
towards it, since it can provide access to information for everybody,
anywhere, anytime.
