National Informatics Centre (NIC) was established in 1976, and has since emerged as a “prime
builder” of e-Government / e-Governance applications up to the grassroots level as well as a
promoter of digital opportunities for sustainable development. NIC, through its ICT Network,
“NICNET”, has institutional linkages with all the Ministries /Departments of the Central
Government, 35 State Governments/ Union Territories, and about 625 District administrations of
India. NIC has been instrumental in steering e-Government/e-Governance applications in
government ministries/departments at the Centre, States, Districts and Blocks, facilitating
improvement in government services, wider transparency, promoting decentralized planning and
management, resulting in better efficiency and accountability to the people of India.
“Informatics-led-development” programme of the government has been spearheaded by NIC to
derive competitive advantage by implementing ICT applications in social & public
administration. The following major activities are being undertaken:

•  Setting up of ICT Infrastructure
•  Implementation of National and State Level e-Governance Projects
•  Products and Services
•  Consultancy to the government departments
•  Research and Development
•  Capacity Building

During the last three decades, NIC has implemented many “network centric” application
software for Programme implementation in various ministries and departments, using state-ofthe-technology software tools. During 1980s and early part of 1990s, the policy thrust was on
creating “Management Information System (MIS)” and “Decision Support System (DSS)” for
development , planning and responsive administration in governments which led to the genesis
of present day “e-Governance” / “e-Government”. “Bridging the Digital Divide”, “Social and
Financial Inclusion through ICT” and “Reaching- the-Unreached” concepts were tried and made
operational in the late nineties.

NIC has vast expertise and experience in the design, development and operationalisation of various e-Government projects in the areas of Public Administration and Governance like Agriculture & Food, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Forestry & Environment, Industry, Health, Education, Budget and Treasury, Fiscal Resources, Transport, Water Resources, Court Management, Rural Development, Land Records and Property
registration, Culture & Tourism, Import & Exports facilitation, Social Welfare Services, Microlevel Planning, etc.

With increasing awareness leading to demand and availability of ICT infrastructure with better capacities and programme framework, the governance space in the country witnessed a new round of projects and products, covering the entire spectrum of eGovernance including G2C, G2B, G2G, with emphasis on service delivery.
NIC provides Nationwide Common ICT Infrastructure to support e-Governance services to the
citizen, Products and Solutions designed to address e-Governance Initiatives, Major eGovernance Projects, State/UT Informatics Support and district level services rendered.

NIC has set up state-of-the-art ICT infrastructure consisting of National and state Data Centres
to manage the information systems and websites of Central Ministries/Departments, Disaster
Recovery Centres, Network Operations facility to manage heterogeneous networks spread across
Bhawans, States and Districts, Certifying Authority, Video-Conferencing and capacity building
across the country.

National Knowledge Network (NKN) has been set up to connect institutions/organizations carrying out research and development, Higher Education and Governance with speed of the order of multi Gigabits per second. Further, State Government secretariats are connected to the Central Government by very high speed links on Optical Fibre Cable (OFC). Districts are connected to respective State capitals through leased lines.
In executing all these activities, NIC has been given recognition in terms of awards and
accolades in International as well as National levels. Thus, NIC, a small program started by the external stimulus of an UNDP project, in the early 1970s, became fully functional in 1977 and since then has grown with tremendous momentum to become one of India’s major S&T; organizations promoting informatics led development. This has helped to usher in the required transformation in government to ably meet the challenges of the new millennium.

8.1 Revenue Collection :

Collection of Land Revenue is one of the major jobs of the department in the last financial year
an amount of Rs.110,63,47,518/- was collected as land Revenue and cess. As per study, the
amount has been collected from only 11 to 14% of the total rayats leaving behind most of them
to whom we have failed to reach due to various constraints like shortage of manpower etc.
Recently, the government was waived land revenue and cess for Land used for agriculture. But,
due to lack of relevant data available with the field levelfunctionaries like Bhumi Sahayaks, it is
often seen that implementation of this waiver policy done arbitrarily.

Frequently, it is found that the rent receipts of previous years are not available with the rayate
intending to pay land revenue and as such, they are compalled to pay land revenue from 1385
BS. The present system of collection of land revenue is entirely depend on bhumi Sahayaks.
Most of the bhumi sahayaks are engaged in collection of land revenue for more than one Gram
Panchayats and hence they are also not available for a single Revenue Inspector’s office on all
working days. Right now, the vacancy position of Bhumi Sahayaks in our state is to be extent of
38% i.e 1305 of sanctioned streangths of 3456.

This has prompted us to make the whole process of Land revenue payment digital as
computarisation of data of Land records of almost all mouzas in West Bengal barring a few has
been completed. Digitisation of Land revenue payment will also be facilitate the rayatsto pay
Land Revenue from the comfort of their home. Digitisation of Land revenue payment will also
facilitate data of all rent receipts stored in the server for future use if required.
