how e-gram can transform e-governance in india. the digital india project by e-governance startup...
DESCRIPTION
Nextuz came up with the Idea of digitising grama panchayats in India. We came up with a product E-Gram which can store one or more house hold survey data conducted in panchayat and can create instant analytics using data visualisation. E-Gram can also send SMS in regional languages which helps local bodies to roll out benefits and announcements quickly and more efficiently. E-Gram is a cloud based platform hence it can be even routed back to district or even state level controlled by respective officials and can monitor and control the local self bodies from district or state Level.TRANSCRIPT
“A transparent, smart governance with seamless access, secure and authentic flow of information crossing the inter-departmental barrier and providing a fair and unbiased service to citizens.”
E-GOVERNANCE

PANCHAYATSThe symbols of decentralization, governance and grassroot democracy.
• Huge funds flow to rural areas for the implementation of various programmes of the central and State governments, with the primary intent to develop the local area and provide various benefits to citizens.
• Panchayats are faced with challenges of inadequate capacities and in certain areas even infrastructure capabilities to effectively deliver these responsibilities.
OBJECTIVES To harness the potential of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) tools for e-Governance in Panchayats.
To make Panchayats more efficient, transparent and symbols of modernity by leveraging ICT at the cutting edge level to ensure transparency and accountability in their functioning through disclosure of information, social audit, efficient delivery of services and improving internal processes and management of Panchayats.
