This Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) works as a catalyst in development for its tremendous potential to
increase efficiency, productivity, and service quality in agriculture and
allied sectors. A village development plan is a written document. It identifies
issues of concern to that village. Opportunities, strengths, threats and
weaknesses of a village are defined. It also provides practical actions that
will result in an improved condition of the village. It provides opportunities
for resource mobilization, a vision of what you would like your village to look
like, sets out clear goals to achieve that vision, and gives you an action plan
to reach out those goals. For preparing of village development plan,
Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) exercises,
Gram-Sava Meetings etc. have been organized. In this way, lots of information
have been gathered for each and every villages. It’s very difficult to work on
village development for the government departments at state, district and block
level through written document. Keeping view of the above facts…the present
study has been conceived using Information System (IS) concept which will be effectively
used after making of the village development plan in an integrated and holistic
manner. This project focuses on a dynamic web-based data input and monitoring
system which support holistic Village Development Plan (VDP). Through this
system different village level information will be stored in all villages.
System will also analyze and show district and block wise different domains
(ie., health, education, electrification etc.) and their present status. System
will also provide geo-information regarding village boundary, present status of
major land and water resources. In this way, this system will be very helpful
for proper decision making, implementation of different development schemes and
effective monitoring.
