Dimapur, Aug. 13 (EMN): The chief minister of Nagaland, Neiphiu Rio, has launched two project monitoring systems namely the CM Dashboard and the e-NPS, on Monday at the Secretariat’s conference hall in Kohima. According to a DIPR report, the two systems will ensure proper monitoring of all government schemes ‘with transparency and accountability in one single frame.’
“The CM Dashboard (https://nl.cmdashboard.nic.in) is an electronic window which gives a comprehensive view of various e-Governance projects/schemes running in the state in a single window in terms of some important measurable parameters/progress called KPIS (key performance indicator); this system will enable the chief minister to assess the performance of the projects on the click of a button and take immediate actionable decisions with regard to the projects/schemes.
“e-NPS (Electronic National Pension System), developed in integration with PIMS (Personal Information Management System), is to meet the urgent requirements of the state government to manage the contribution of the department employees who are subscribing towards the NPS and subsequently downloading the FPU (file preparation utility) to upload in NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited) portal. The portal for e-NPS is
www.pimsnagaland.in/nps,” the report read.
It also reported Rio as having said that the initiative would help in informing people about the details of various projects/schemes implemented in the state as Nagaland is a state that is dependent on flagship programmes of the government.
“Rio mentioned that as of now, there are 22 schemes of 11 state government departments, and that the other departments will also follow suit, and in this regard, he urged all to work and contribute towards this initiative in a constructive manner, rather than being critical of the government. Also, on e-NPS, the CM said that this web system will help the government in effectively maintaining the NPS records and contribute to the welfare of the citizens. As of now, e-NPS is being launched only in Kohima district, and will be covered very soon in the rest of the districts, he added.”
According to Abhishek Singh, commissioner-secretary to the CM, the CM Dashboard was customised according to requirements ‘by including not only the flagship programmes of the government of India but also schemes, projects and programmes relevant to the state of Nagaland.’
“Through live video conferencing, DG, NIC, Neeta Verma briefed on the services of the CM Dashboard. She pointed out that the CM Dashboard provides a finished record of all the important programmes and schemes of the government and the advantage of the service is that it enables one to use the programme with their own indicators, benchmark and customisation.
“She also appraised that the most important aspect of the service is that all the important data coming into the Dashboard is directly picked from the IT system and there is no human error in it. She further urged the Nagaland government to consider approving the district-wise dashboard for a single window where they can get access to all the programmes and performance at the district level too,” the DIPR reported.
The officer on special duty to the department of Finance, V Kezo, mentioned that e-NPS will be providing accurate and authentic data values for which the department of Treasuries and Accounts will only have to ‘download and upload the FPU monthly when the district DDOs and district Treasury offices submit the respective contribution, challan numbers and challan codes into the system.’
He said that the e-NPS was a three-tier system: DDO level access, sub-treasury level and e-NPS super admin level i.e., directorate of Treasuries and Accounts. The system was developed mainly to minimise paper transactions, it was informed.
