Haryana marches ahead in e-governance

CHANDIGARH: Haryana has not only made rapid strides in many key fields during the year now on its way out but also kept pace with technology and pressed it to good use for the benefit of citizens, an official spokesman said here on Friday.

The State is well on the way to topping the e-Governance Readiness Index-2006, having progressed from 15th position in the country in 2003 to the fourth in 2006, according to the e-readiness report of the Union Government. It also won the “Best e-Governed State Government” Telecomm India Excellence Award-2007. In all, the State has received 18 prestigious national e-governance awards.

Haryana ranked No. 4 in the Dataquest-IDC e-Governance Survey 2008, having progressed from the 18th position in 2007-08, ahead of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Goa, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, the spokesman added.

The State Government laid special emphasis on implementing Mission Mode e-Governance projects, identified under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), having successfully organised the 11th National e-Governance Conference in February this year.

The State Sector Mission Mode e–Governance projects -- namely Online Treasuries Information System, Haryana Registration Information System, Haryana Land Records Information System, Road Transport Regulatory Functions (Driving Licence and Vehicle Registration systems), Haryana Pensions Processing and Information System, e.Health.Net project of the Health Department, and the VAT Monitoring Assessment and Collection System -- have already been implemented.

Computerised monitoring of PWD (B and R) and PWD (Water Supply and Sanitation) activities has also been done.

Haryana is the first State in the country to introduce an online off-campus counselling system and online entrance examination system for admission to technical and professional courses. The Union Government had selected Haryana for implementation of the smart card-based PDS and ration card system. The Centre has also sanctioned a pilot project named IntraGov Haryana Portal.
