DISTRICT INFORMATICS


The District is the basic administrative unit at the sub-state level in India. NICNET, with nodes in all the district of the Country, is in consonance with the decentralized planning concepts of the Government of India. It is a facilitator of information flow from the implementation level, to the planners at macro (national), macro-meso (region covering more than one state), meso(state), and micro (district, block and village)levels. NIC has innovated the concept of distributed databases, relevant to the specific requirements in India, and implemented the same over NICNET.

Recognising the importance of information as a vital resource, with applications in rural development, agricultural development, NIC launched its District Information System (DISNIC) programme in 1987. Although the district administration encompasses General Administration, Revenue Collection, Treasury, Judiciary and Development Activities, the focus has shifted in recent times to the latter with the result that information Management has become very import.

NICNET FACILITIES AT LEH

The DISNIC programme is operational in 440 districts throughout the Country. Many states have taken up the implementation of this programme on priority basis, and have used it successfully in the sectors of Industry, Agriculture, Education, Transport, Treasury, Revenue, Administration, Civil Supplies, Animal Husbandry, Decentralized planning and Project detailing for sectorial programmes (Fisheries, Water Resources, Cooperation etc.).

A special decision-support system, using GISNIC software for educational planning and administration at district level, has been initiated. GISNIC has also been used to prepare the 1991 Population Census Atlas.

NIC has implemented Land Records computerisation using GIST terminals in 15 Pilot districts (Burdwan,Rewari, Ropar, Bishnupur, Sonitpur, Thiruvananthapuram, Gulberga, Salem, Wardha, Durgapur, Kangra, Deoria,Tripura, Imphal and Thoubal) selected by DRD; and also at Port Blair, Kanpur(Dehat), and Ghaziabad. The Project has also been initiated by NIC State Units in the states of Maharashtra, Sikkim and Uttar Pradesh with fund allocation by the respective State Governments.

NIC is working towards informatics programme development at the block level to strengthen micro-level Planning, Rural Development, Land Records Management, Panchayati Raj Institutions etc., and to facilitate block development and tehsil revenue administrations at the sub-district level.
