Sampoorna Panchayat by Sampoorna Swaraj Foundation
Sampoorna Panchayat is a Gram Panchayat Work Flow Automation and Community Portal technology developed and implemented by Sampoorna Swaraj Foundation.
This Cloud Hosted Portal solution allows all the Gram Panchayat processes to happen on the internet and facilitates interaction among all the stakeholders in a Gram Panchayat, namely Citizens, Bureaucrats, Elected officials, NGOs and Businesses and thus bringing accountability, efficiency and transparency.
Today, the interactions and transactions in Gram Panchayat institutions are manual, slow, non-transparent and mostly inefficient. And most importantly, there is negligible participation of village citizens in the local governance due to lack of awareness and lack of facility. The solution incorporates standard processes, forms and registers according to the 73rd Amendment, in order for Gram Panchayats to easily transit into an automated environment. The software architecture is based on open source standards and is multi-lingual, and can be easily modified and is inter-operable. The solution is scalable to integrate both internal and external processes of any Gam Panchayat and offers an audit trail of all activities in a Gram Panchayat which allows monitoring on real time basis.
The Sampoorna Panchayat Web Portal shows the responsibilities of a Bill Collector which is categorised into different types of taxes to be collected from the citizens.
The main impacts experienced by the citizens of the Gram Panchayats where Sampoorna Panchayat solutions are implemented are:
- Efficient, transparent and accountable citizen centric governance at GP level.
- Audit trail of the GP workflow system.
- Death of distance for availing government services.
- Employment opportunities creation in GP’s for local youth at village level.
- Reduced digital divide between urban and rural India.
The CLOUD based architecture allows for easy portability and mobility. The Sampoorna Panchayat Work Flow Automation solution is architected as a “Future Proof ” software. The Open Source modular architecture and the Process Centric Architecture, allows for easy scalability with as many additional modules as required.
