Times of India: New Delhi: Monday, July 24, 2017.
Delhi
government is planning to put up details of all projects and proposals online,
the progress of which can be tracked through a mobile app.
"The
planning department has been asked to develop an app which will enable citizens
to know about government works, schemes, proposals and projects, and track
their implementation on a single platform. The department has already started
work on this," said a senior government official.
Officials
said that the app would work similar to single window access, where all
projects will be available on a single platform. Details would include start
and completion dates, budget and status of implementation.
The decision
to make such information available online comes soon after the government has
made RTI online. "This is in line with the government's attempts to bring
full transparency in its work. All relevant information about all projects and
processes will be available in the public domain through a mobile app,"
said the official.
Sources said
that the name of the application is yet to be finalised but efforts are on to
launch it by October.
Earlier this
month, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had said the Delhi government would put
all relevant information online to ensure transparency in its functioning.
