Deputy Commissioner, Kupwara

n the occasion of Good Governance day, it gives me immense pleasure to launch

this annual magazine on the e-Governance implementation in District Kupwara.
e-Governance is an efficient way to deliver governance to the citizens at a faster
pace with accuracy, by accomplishing the laid governance objectives
through integration of people, processes along with information and
technology. Numerous exemplary e-Governance initiatives have been introduced to
transform the conventional government-citizen relationship, fosteringtransparency, efficiency,
accountability of the informational & transactional exchanges and Open Government for the
citizens.

Information and Communication Technology has emerged as a major factor for

development of the society. It has helped us to provide better services to the common man.
I am happy that NIC is doing a great job in automating the functioning of important sectors like
Election, Planning, Rural Development, Animal Husbandry, Court, Transport, Municipalities,
Horticulture, Treasury, Health, Police and more.
Publication of "eGovernance @ Kupwara" is another step that we have taken up with the help of
NIC. This will fill up the technology gaps that might exist in the line departments. This magazine
will reach out to all the e-Governance stake holders in the district twice year.

I am hopeful that we would succeed in taking ICT to the masses at every level by instituting best
of technology and continue with our spree of innovation and quality cognizance in our future
endeavours.

Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi on
23/12/2009 in the following words.
"The police stations in the country
are, today, virtually unconnected
islands. Realizing
the
gross
deficiency in connectivity, the Central
government is implementing many
ambitious schemes. The goals of
these schemes are to facilitate
collection, storage, retrieval, analysis,
transfer and sharing of data and
information at the police station and
between the police station and the
State Headquarters and the Central
Police Organisations and to automate
the processes(workflow) at primary
sources of data itself e.g. Police
Station and to build a crime &
criminal Information system
for
providing an efficient way of
organising
crime records
for
generating
queries/reports and
crime analysis for decision support.

COMMON INTEGRATED POLICE

APPLICATION(CIPA)

CIPA was developed for automation

of the Police Station level functioning
from the point of view of provisions
in the CrPC. CIPA is aimed at
automating the Processes (workflow)
of Police Stations, with an objective to
capture all data related to crime &
criminals and improve efficiency of
the Police Stations.
NIC has
undertaken design& development of
the 2-tier (Client-Server) Software in
JAVA, with built-in multi-lingual
Indian languages support which has
been deployed under Open Source
Software (OSS)
