India’s first ‘district scheme monitoring system’ has been implemented in Rupnagar district of Punjab. This DSMS will help in keeping track of the progress of different developmental projects of the district.
"This system will work as eyes and ears for the district administration to regularly monitor the progress of development works and schemes. The projects which would be monitored include both central as well as state sponsored schemes," said Priyank Bharti, deputy commissioner of Rupnagar, after launching the scheme.
"In order to evaluate the progress of each project on a monthly basis, the entire work would be computerised and monthly details along with photographs will be reguarly stored in the system," he added.
The projects which will be monitored by DSMS are Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY), Rojgar Yojna (RY), Indira Awas Yojna (IAY) and National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) and Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan(SSA).
The DMS software was developed by National Informatics Centre, Punjab, in just 7 months.
"Rupnagar is the first district in the country to have such a system. It has been taken as pilot site for implementation of DSMS and, based on the response, this scheme would be launched in other districts. The entire DSMS data would be put on the official website of Rupnagar within the next three months," Bharti said.
