One of the high tech projects that has been sanctioned is the Global Information System (GIS)-based civic administration. "This involves mapping all civic utility lines on a satellite map of the city. Officers dealing with each of the civic utilities will enter the condition and daily report pertaining to functioning of infrastructure on the map. Even complaints registered by citizens at various civic centres will get highlighted on the map in real time. This will unify the function of the AMC in all aspects," says a senior AMC official involved with the project.
Apart from this, a public interface, which includes eight separate softwares for various taxation purposes, is part of the e-governance package. Right from paying your water, drainage, property tax to registering your marriage and birth and death will be made online. The system of making online payment for various taxes will be strengthened in this project," adds the officer.
