The government has decided to roll out the e-District project in 26 more districts following the successful implementation of the project in six districts.
On a pilot basis, the project has been taken up in Krishnagiri, Ariyalur, Coimbatore, Perambalur, Tiruvarur and The Nilgiris. At present, the services of four departments – Revenue, Social Welfare, Backward Classes & Most Backward Classes and Adi-Dravidar and Tribal Welfare – were offered online through the e-District portal. The services of various other departments, now being identified, are expected to go online in the near future.
The e-District project would help in creating an automated workflow system for the respective district administration and facilitate in providing efficient services to the people.
According to an order issued by the Information Technology Department a week ago, the government will ensure that the services are not confined to common services centres. At the district level, a District e-Governance Society (DeGS) has to be formed for implementing the project.
