Strategy adopted (Any base line study, technology / architecture used, implementation model etc)(Max in 2000 Charactors)
Architecture The Document Management System (DMS) shall be developed to manage scanned files of certified documents in the system for viewing/retrieval. The system will deliver MIS reports required by officials of registration department. The application provides features for retrieval of historical stored records. Scanned copy of document is saved with reference to corresponding unique number in a folder on server. The reference path with respect to server will be stored in database. In order to associate scanned document with data entry of the same document, a Browse button is provided to upload scanned copy from the system for legacy records. DMS solution is based on three-tier architecture: A. Data Layer Database layer keeps attribute information along with masters and transactional data of records. The business logic is split across the application and Data Layer allowing layered architecture for advanced security and performance for crucial transactions. B. Business Layer Business Layer implements business logic of the application and is subdivided into two parts - Business Faade and Business Logic Layers. The Business Faade provides a simple interface which maps directly to operations exposed by a Service. The Business Faade uses services provided by Business Logic Layer. Business layer handles all services including Print service, Record editing service etc. as elaborated below: Identification & Authentication System supports User identification & authorization information in an encrypted format.

Improved quality of service delivery (Max in 2000 Characters)

Information can play a crucial role in improving the interaction between government and rural citizens. The advantages from availability of information accrue not only to citizens but can also help in substantially improving the following quality aspects of public service delivery: Planning: With more accurate and timely data available at each delivery point, government programmes and services can be planned better. Execution: With more frequent data at the delivery points, services delivery can be executed better by reducing the time between realizing the need for action and its execution Monitoring: Availability of accurate and frequent data can help in fine tuning or course correction required for government programmes. Detailed data about health and nutritional indicators of a village can help in evaluating the effectiveness of government interventions. Evaluation: With more accurate and detailed data, the evaluation of a programme can be more appropriately conducted.

Justify how the innovation is sustainable, adaptable and scalable (Max in 2000 Characters).
In recent years, significant changes have taken place in an effort to address rural and poor citizens. Businesses have started recognizing the potential of rural markets and governments have started using reforms for providing government to citizen services to citizens. Considering that the poor can benefit substantially from government programmes and services, improvements in effectiveness of their delivery would invariably foster inclusive growth and help bridge digital divide. Sustainability of any project depends upon investments versus returns. A proper planning and bifurcation of responsibilities lead to a smooth execution of project and result in successful delivery for the stakeholders. Modernizing the Record rooms in rural and urban areas is associated with increases in the applications submitted by citizens for updating their property records. A carefully designed delivery mechanism through record rooms will lead to savings in time, cost, and effort. It also has the potential to minimize opportunities for corruption in the delivery.
