SRINAGAR: In a major stride toward modernising the implementation of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Department (RDPRD) is conducting a series of district-level workshops on IT initiatives and record maintenance across the Union Territory.
The capacity-building workshops aim to equip field functionaries and stakeholders with practical knowledge of the latest digital platforms, such as Yuktdhara, NMMS, e-KYC, e-MB Module, SECURE 2.0, and Geo-fencing. Workshops have already been successfully organized in the Anantnag-Kulgam, Shopian-Pulwama, Udhampur-Ramban, Doda-Kishtwar, Jammu-Reasi, Rajouri-Poonch, and Baramulla-Bandipora districts.
Speaking on this initiative, Additional Secretary, Waseem Raja said that the integration of cutting-edge technology in rural development ensures transparent, need-based, and efficient planning at grassroots level. āThe use of platforms like Yuktdhara enables scientific and resource-aligned planning at the Gram Panchayat level, ensuring judicious utilization of resources,ā he said.
Waseem Raja said that the NMMS app enhances real-time monitoring through digital attendance and e-KYC verification, while the e-MB module facilitates accurate digital measurements and timely updates of on-ground progress, ensuring greater accountability and efficiency.
Designed to be both interactive and practical, the workshops included live demonstrations on operating the digital tools. Executive Engineers, Block Development Officers (BDOs), Assistant Engineers, Junior Engineers, Programme Officers (MGNREGA), Panchayat Secretaries, MIS Operators, Technical Assistants, and Gram Rozgar Sahayaks (GRS), received hands-on training to strengthen their capacity in digital implementation and monitoring of MGNREGA works. In the coming days, similar workshops are scheduled to be held in the Kathua, Samba, Kupwara, Srinagar, Ganderbal, and Budgam districts to ensure complete coverage across all regions of the Union Territory.
