6. The EC was informed that there have been some slippages with regard to the committed timelines for the implementation of the project despite regular follow-up with the States/ UTs. The key reasons for the slippages are:

a) Delay in signing of contract by the State / UT with the SPMU Agencyb) Preparation of SI RFP taking longer time than estimatedc) Delay in convening meetings of the State Apex Committees d) States/UTs not having pilot or legacy applications taking longer time than anticipated in taking decisions regarding the rollout plan.

Agenda No. 4:Additional funding for State of Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is a Pilot State with 6 Pilot districts. The Pilot Application was developed by NIC

and is also STQC certified. The State has planned to use the NIC developed application for

statewide roll-out after enhancement of the same to meet the requirements of the Integrated

Framework for Delivery of Services. This is a quicker strategy compared to hiring a new SI for

fresh development of application for statewide roll-out. Since the DPR was prepared and

approved in the 1st EC meeting before the recommendations in the Integrated Framework for

Delivery of Services, the State had not estimated the project cost as per the recommended

solution architecture for statewide roll-out. The State has communicated to DeitY through Letter

Ref. No. 1419/TNeGA/SeMT/2012, dated 19th Oct 2012 (Annexure E) that the modifications

include developing e-Forms and connectors to make the identified lists of eDistrict services

accessible through the State Portal and SSDG framework. The State had also highlighted this

during the eDistrict Southern Regional Conference held on 16th October, 2012 in Chennai.

State has also informed that State portal/ SSDG has been hosted in SDC and 19 services are

being offered as part of e-District program.

The State did not request for fund under some of the approved heads in their initial DPR

submitted to DeitY which was approved by the Empowered Committee on 28-12-2011. The

State has now requested money under these head and thus increasing the project cost by Rs.

141.00 lakhs. State has requested DeitY to provide fund under the following heads (allowed as

per the eDistrict Guidelines):

Page 13: EC Minutes EC... · 2015. 8. 25. · N-22015/24/2012-eGov2 Department of Electronics and Information Technology New Delhi – 110003 Minutes of the 5th Meeting of the Empowered Committee

Component Rs. In Lakhs

System Support 72.00

Software for Pilot 15.00

Application Support 54.00

Total 141.00

The State-wide roll-out of e-District project in the State of Tamil Nadu was approved at the total

cost of Rs. 6685.67 lakhs (GIA - Rs. 4822.34 lakhs and ACA - Rs. 1863.33 lakhs). If the above

request is approved the total approved amount for the State of Tamil Nadu would be Rs.

6826.67 lakhs (GIA - Rs. 4963.34 lakhs and ACA - Rs. 1863.33 lakhs). The proposal is in line

with DeitY guidelines.

APPROVAL SOUGHTBased on the above reasons, the Empowered Committee may approve the additionalfund of Rs. 141.00 lakhs to Tamil Nadu under the suggested heads for statewide rollout.

Agenda No. 5:Additional funding for State of Punjab

The DPR for Punjab was approved in the 2nd EC Meeting held on 29th March 2012 in which a

total amount of Rs. 4848.36 lakhs was approved for 20 districts. However, the State later

communicated to DeitY about the formation of two new districts in the State (vide letter no:

12/3/2011 – GMP/DGR/568 dated 03.09.2012) (Annexure F). In the 4th EC meeting, this was

discussed and the Committee had expressed the view that since e-District National Rollout

scheme is citizen centric in design / approach, it is envisaged that all the districts in the State

should provide services through this Scheme. It was decided that to incorporate demands for

funds for newly created administrative units, it is proposed that the States / UTs, who’s DPRs

are already approved, will be requested to submit the details of newly formed administrative

units at the earliest. The Empowered Committee had approved the funding of additional

Districts created by the States / UTs, subject to the ceiling of funding available within the

Scheme.

Now, the State of Punjab has communicated the details about the creation of two new districts

(Fazilka & Pathankot) on 6th February 2013 (letter no 1/2012/DGR/NeGP/525) and has

requested for additional funds of Rs.486.37 lakhs.

Page 14: EC Minutes EC... · 2015. 8. 25. · N-22015/24/2012-eGov2 Department of Electronics and Information Technology New Delhi – 110003 Minutes of the 5th Meeting of the Empowered Committee

State-wide roll-out of e-District project in the State of Punjab was approved at the total cost of

Rs. 4848.36 lakhs (GIA - Rs. 3558.36 lakhs and ACA - Rs. 1290 lakhs). If the above request is

approved the total approved amount for the State of Punjab would be Rs. 5334.72 lakhs (GIA -

Rs. 3901.39 lakhs and ACA - Rs. 1433.33 lakhs).

APPROVAL SOUGHTBased on the above, the Empowered Committee may approve additional funds for theState of Punjab amounting to Rs. 486.37 (GIA – Rs. 343.03 lakhs and ACA – Rs. 143.33lakhs) for two new districts.

Agenda 6Confirmation of decision to use of handheld mobile devices for delivery of servicesunder e-District project by the State of UP

The State of Uttar Pradesh has sought DeitY’s approval of the financial implication for including

handheld mobile devices to be provided to the Lekhpals of the Revenue Department for

accessing the eDistrict application and also submitting their verification report to the authorities

(vide D.O. No: 3483/PSIT/2012 dated 17th December, 2012) (Annexure G). Under the current

process, the Lekhpal has to go to the Block / Tehsil office to access the eDistrict application

which increases the time for the disposal of the services to the citizens. The State has

expressed the view that providing handheld mobile devices with connectivity to the Lekhpals

and other field level officers/functionaries in the chain of command in the respective

departments shall smoothen the process of submission of verification reports. This would result

in reduced time for issuance of various certificates to the citizens.

The State has estimated requirement of Rs. 15.00 cr to 18.00 cr for the procurement of 30,000

such devices for around 25,000 Lekhpals in the Revenue Department and 5,000 officers of

other departments. However, the State may also need to consider the following cost besides

the cost of the device:

1. Cost of providing connectivity to all handheld mobile devices

2. Cost of training the Lekhpals and other field level functionaries using the devices

3. Cost of developing application for such devices

4. Total cost (including time) of procurement and deployment of such devices, including

maintenance/AMC

DeitY has responded to this (Annexure H) by informing that the request of the State to include

Hand-held Mobile devices to the Lekhpals for accessing the eDistrict application is over and

Page 15: EC Minutes EC... · 2015. 8. 25. · N-22015/24/2012-eGov2 Department of Electronics and Information Technology New Delhi – 110003 Minutes of the 5th Meeting of the Empowered Committee

above the limit prescribed in the Guidelines for National Rollout of eDistrict project. To consider

this request further, it is essential to understand in detail the appropriate intervention of these

hand-held mobile devices in the existing business processes. It is suggested that the State,

with the help of SPMU undertakes a detailed business process re-engineering exercise upto

village level functionaries for the eDistrict services identified for state-wide rollout and identify

the intervention points for these hand-held mobile devices to make the business processes

efficient and effective. This GPR exercise should be followed-up with an appropriate

assessment of:

(a) The number of locations and the number of officers required to be provided with these

hand-held mobile devices, and

(b) The software application module for hand-held mobile devices to provide online back-end

workflow integration.

The State was further requested that it may submit a proposal covering the above mentioned

detailed assessment along with its financial implications to DeitY for further consideration. A

template for the project proposal was also shared. It was reiterated that DeitY encourages

Annexure C: Communication from Haryana regarding CSC and e-District projectMail from MD Hartron on eDistrict and CSC Project

Dear Mr. DwivediAs discussed during my visit to your office last week and during the Video Conference held on28thJanuary 2013 at 2.30 p.m., Government of Haryana is taking concrete steps to implement the variouscomponents of the e-District project and the CSC project in the State as per the guidelines ofGovernment of India.In this regard, the Apex Committee of the State is to meet on 12.02.2013 (instead of 29th Januarywhich was earlier fixed for the meeting) and would approve the DPR for the e-District project.Meanwhile, I am pleased to inform you that the following timelines have been decided by us forimplementing the various important steps of the project as discussed during the VC:- Approval of DPR- 12th February, 2013 Preparation of RFP - 15th March, 2013 STQC certification of e-District, Rohtak– 15th February, 2013 Conversion of DITS in the districts to DEGS -28th February, 2013 In thisregard, I would also bring to your notice that the CSC roll-out is being planned simultaneously and weare already in touch with the districts and the Director, Panchayats for this purpose.I will keep you updated in this regard constantly.Thank you for your guidance and support.Warm regardsVivek AtraySpecial Secretary, IT, Haryana & MD,Hartron

Abstract from DPRGoH is keen to provide service delivery channels to the residents of the State which facilitatetransparent, efficient and hassle free delivery of services. Therefore it is envisaged that the setting upof CSC’s, called e-Ghars, at 1000 panchayat cluster heads in the State would provide such servicedelivery to the residents.The CSC’s would be setup at Panchayat Ghar’s which would ensure that they are identified with thePanchayat system by the residents. This would enable us to align the civil and power infrastructurerequirements of the CSC’s with the e-panchayat MMP as and when it is formally rolled out.Regarding the delay in implementation of CSC scheme roll-out in Haryana, it is clarified that Haryanawas the first State to roll out all CSCs in the country in April, 2008. However, the rolled out CSCsstarted closing down due to non-availability of enough B2C and B2B services. Accordingly all theSCAs were terminated by August, 2010.The grant in aid released by DeitY, GoI was utilized for incurring administrative expenses only, asmost of the SCAs quoted zero revenue support for running CSCs. Tender for selection of replacementSCAs for all the four divisions of Haryana was released in September, 2010. However, theprospective SCAs again quoted very low revenue support, which was not found feasible for runningthe operations of CSCs by the tender evaluation committee.In view of the above, an alternative model is now proposed to launch Common Services Centres(CSC’s) at the Panchayat Ghars with the help of the Department of Panchayats and an ServiceCenter Agency (SCA). The SCA (Service Center Agency) shall oversee the creation of the ruralCommon Services Centres network.e-Ghars as CSCs (located at Panchayat level): The e-Ghars are being created with the help of SCA.The selection of VLE will be responsibility of DeGS headed by DC of each District. These VLEs shallbe located in the e-Ghar. These centers will cater to the rural citizens of Haryana and are envisagedto deliver citizen services at their doorstep. The minimum infrastructure at these centers shall becreated by VLE whereas the space, electricity and water will be provided by Panchayat department.

The proposed model has been agreed in-principle with the Panchayat Department and tostudy the feasibility, pilots have been made operational at 7 locations in the districts of Ambala andPanchkula since Jan 2013. The feedback received so far has been quite encouraging.
