In an effort to improve the management of funds and projects, the Karnataka Rural Infrastructure Development Limited (KRIDL) has launched a new software application, Gandhi Sakshi Kayaka 2.0, also known as the Work Monitoring System (WMS).
This tool was unveiled by Rural Development & Panchayat Raj, and Information Technology Minister Priyank Kharge, on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti on October 2.
The Gandhi Sakshi Kayaka 2.0 is designed to streamline the sanctioning and utilization of funds for various projects besides ensuring efficient accounting and monitoring of infrastructure works across Karnataka with a focus on transparency.
Launching the new application, Mr. Priyank Kharge said, “The introduction of Gandhi Sakshi Kayaka 2.0, developed by our Center for Smart Governance, will significantly enhance efficiency and accountability in our projects.”
The KRIDL, which is an undertaking of the Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, has played a key role in construction and infrastructure development across Karnataka for the last 51 years.
