The piles of files pertaining to the project records in Haryana Government would soon be a thing of the past. For, the State Government has launched the comprehensive online projects management system (e-PMS) to fast track stalled projects, involving investment over Rs50 crores. The move is aimed at giving boost to e-governance in the working of the State Government.
The e-PMS automates entire tracking from submission of issues to the commissioning of projects. The milestones include submission of a new project, editing or updating the projects, reviewing the projects, submission of details relating to bottlenecks. It also includes preparation of agenda and minutes of the meetings that can be generated online and circulated with auto mailer to the nodal officers, secretaries of the Ministries or departments and invitees. The decisions taken by the subgroup can also be entered online in the system. The data of nodal officers is being compiled from various departments or organisations, as per requirement of e-PMS Haryana.
A spokesperson said that the state coordination Department is the nodal department for implementation of e-PMS in Haryana. The state IT Department and local NIC-Haryana are providing all requisite ICT support services for the smooth implementation of e-PMS Haryana. In the first instance, 16 key departments of Haryana namely Revenue and Disaster Management, Power, Panchayats, Industries, PWD (B&R), Health, Town and Country Planning, Higher Education, PWD (Public Health), PWS(Irrigation), Forests, Urban local Bodies, Environment among others have been identified for implementation of ePMS Haryana, for all the projects, involving investments over Rs50 crores, in respect of their sectors or areas of operations.
Two days training will be provided to the state government officers or officials on how to use portal at Chandigarh during February 18-19. The implementation of e-PMS in Haryana will start soon after the training. The spokesperson said that implementation of e-PMS Haryana which was launched by Chief Secretary DS Dhesi on Monday, will help the state to enhance the efficiency and to bring transparency in projects execution. This will also boost the confidence of investor and will help in reviving the investment cycle. Further the e-PMS will eliminate unnecessary human intervention and will improve the communication between Industries and Government (B2G), State and Centre (G2G), or vice versa.
Notably, the Cabinet Secretariat, Government of India has developed a uniform e-PMS portal through NIC New Delhi, for monitoring of investments over Rs1,000 crores in the country.
