New Delhi, Jan 20 (KNN) Minister of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (HUPA), M Venkaiah Naidu today launched ‘Management Information Systems (MIS)’ for regular online monitoring of progress in respect of skill development and enhancing livelihood opportunities for urban poor under Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana (DAY).
The MIS has been developed by National Informatics Centre (NIC) at a cost of Rs 2.24 crore, an official release said.
“It enables real time and regular monitoring of the progress under the seven components of DAY which include employment through skill training and placement, self-employment groups, shelters for urban homeless and support to urban vendors,” it said.
The system will also remove the deficiencies in the present submission of monthly progress reports being submitted by states. These lacunae include considerable time lag, non-availability of beneficiary wise details, limited scope for further analysis on account of information only about a few parameters, data integrity etc, the release added.
MIS enables stakeholders like training providers, certification agencies, banks, resource organisations etc, to feed required information directly which can be accessed by urban local bodies, states and Ministry of HUPA for monitoring and other purposes.
Welcoming the introduction of MIS, Naidu urged the ministry officials to ensure that states step up efforts to ensure skill development and augmenting livelihood opportunities in urban areas under DAY.
Others present on the occasion were Secretary (HUPA), Anita Agnihotri, Joint Secretary (Urban Poverty Alleviation), B K Aggarwal, and other senior officials. (KNN/ES)
