Smart Cards @ NDMC Schools
Faced by the challenges of increasing number of drop-out students, and
teachers skipping classes, NDMC has plans to introduce smart cards in each NDMC
school. These cards would include all details of both teachers and students. The
move is meant to raise the bar of quality education in such schools. The
in-built software in smart cards would also incorporate details regarding
admissions, examinations, library attendance, billing, supplies and purchases,
inventory and human resource management. The project is expected to transform
the NDMC school environment by providing efficient and integrated e-governance
services for students, parents, teachers, and the school management.

DIT to Hire IT Professionals; Sanctions Rs 3,000 crore
The union government has allowed Department of Information Technology (DIT) to
hire IT professionals from private sector to popularize its e-governance
initiatives in rural India. For this purpose, a sum of Rs 300 crore has been
sanctioned. The DIT will order private placements to restore IT facilities
throughout the country by launching pilot projects for a period of six months.
The proposed e-governance projects would fall under Bharat Nirman initiatives of
the government, through which the center spends Rs 1,50,000 crore for creation
of rural infrastructure each year. The union government is also formulating a
policy for financial inclusion on mobile platform which would mean that after
the policy guidelines are rolled out, users would be able to make transactions
such as payment of electricity and telephone bills through mobile.
Bangalore One to be Replicated
The department of e-governance in Karnataka will roll out Bangalore One model
service in seven city corporation areas in the state. Mangalore will have five
Mangalore One centers in the city corporation area and these will be launched by
end of November 2009. Bangalore One centers are providing services related to
twenty-nine different departments and the same will be made available at the
Mangalore One and other similar centers to come up in the remaining city
corporation areas. The Bangalore One centers have logged in 1,500 crore
transactions since the time of its inception. The replicas of Bangalore One
would be made available to the people in the seven city corporation areas.
