6. State Portal and State Service Delivery Gateway (SSDG)


The National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) of the Government of India aims to make all

Government services accessible to the common man in his locality through common service

delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency & reliability of such services at

affordable costs. State Portal and State Service Delivery Gateway (SSDG) being the core

components in e Governance infrastructure under the NeGP, can simplify this task by acting

as a standards based messaging switch and providing seamless interoperability and exchange

of data across departments for providing services electronically. Main features envisaged

from this project are:

1. To enable Web based service request using e-forms on State Portal.



2. The physical forms presently available for various government services to be

converted into E forms and made accessible to the citizens through the state portal

to be accessed anywhere, anytime.

3. Citizens can access these e-forms either on internet or through nearest Citizen

Service Center (CSC).

4. The submitted e-forms will be routed through State Service Delivery Gateway

(SSDG) to the respective field offices of the concerned department. Thus

Departmental workflow will become more effective.

5. This is the first step towards the eventual computerization of the processes that

involve G2C service delivery and will make the foundation for all e-initiatives in

future

M/s Infosys was selected as Implementing Agency for the project. The main components are:

E-forms - These are electronic forms which can be accessed over internet and can be

submitted online by attaching supporting documents as scanned copies from

anywhere, anytime.

State Portal - The front end for all government activities and common touch point for

e-interaction between Departments and Citizens. Citizen can access e-forms on State

portal and status tracking of submitted request.

SSDG- State Service Delivery Gateway will act as a common hub routing all service

requests to respective nodal officers. It will also have other features like time

stamping, payment and generation of unique application number for every request.

CDAC is developing the gateway framework to be implemented in all the states

Project Status

Development of Software has been completed.

In phase I, out of total 49 services, 15 services of six departments will be made

available to citizen through SSDG portal.

Rest of the services will be covered in phase II & phase III accordingly.

Accordingly, 14 services were planned to be rolled out in Phase-I, which have been

rolled out since 1st May, 2012 and there is some delay in the roll out of the services of

Phase-II and Phase-III because for some services, integration with NIC is required

and payment is involved with the services regarding which integration is in process

with the Centralized Payment Gateway.



Draft notifications and process flow of the services have been issued to the

departments whose services are to be rolled out in Phase-II.

18 services are planned to be rolled out in Phase-II and will be rolled out shortly

7. E-Dispatch


E-Dispatch is an electronic means to dispatch official letters. It is a web based software

designed & developed specifically for the dispatch section of the government departments to

send letters electronically through Fax/ E-mail/ and store online for future reference. SMS

alerts also can be generated through this software to intimate field offices in advance to check

their email/ e-Dispatch portal for urgent message/ order. The advantages of the e-Dispatch

software are:

Fast delivery and instant receipt of letters

Reduction in stationery and printer consumable costs

No postage costs

Archival of data/ letters online on server

Reduced labour cost

Elimination of Human Error

Project Status

Purchase Order has been released to OCAC on 29th January, 2011 to design and

development of e-Dispatch software for HP Govt. Secretariat

Purchase for procurement of hardware (PCs. Multifunctional Printers) has also been

released on 29th March, 2011

e-Dispatch started in Secretariat of H.P on 2nd Sept, 2011 for sending and receiving

the letters

e-Dispatch is being used in all the Departments/ Boards/ Corporations/ DC‟s for receiving

letters and in Secretariat of H.P for both sending and receiving the letters. 45,988 letters were

dispatched through e-Dispatch portal till March, 2012

8. Computerization of 5 Welfare Corporations (DSJE Automation)




This project aims at Computerization of the activities being carried out by five corporations

IT Department has established SMS Gateway for sending messages to citizens and

government employees regarding services and meeting notices etc. A web-based application

has been implemented which can be used for sending messages regarding status of the

services to the individual applicant or sending bulk messages like meeting notices,

information etc. to group of people and communicate with sub-ordinate offices. The facility

would help in saving Government resources and facilitating the citizens by efficient service

delivery.

There are three types of facilities available for sending the SMSs. These facilities will be as

under:

Facility to send bulk messages to group of users (citizens or Government Employees)

in one step. This facility may be utilized for sending notices for the meeting and

information to general public.

Facility to send SMSs regarding the specific service to individual users (citizens or

Government Employees) as per requirement. The Departments can use this for

sending SMSs regarding status of the service when the same is ready for delivery or

there is some deficiency in the documents submitted by the citizen.

Facility for the citizen where they can get some information out of the database of

the department (if available) by sending SMS using a pre-determined code on 56300.

For example result of examinations, information about Government services

(procedures and requisite documents) etc. If the database is not available information

may be provided to the service provider by creating the same.

The SMS Gateway services are running successfully in order to send notices for the

meetings to officers in the districts. The officers can send notices/reminders to their

subordinate offices on click of a mouse. This type of communication will helps in reducing

paper work in sending routine notices and reminders. Messages can also be sent to the

citizens regarding status of service for which they have applied. For example, SMS is being

sent to the applicant when his Driving License is ready for delivery, requesting him to

collect the same.

“e-Shastr” application (Online Arms Licensing System) is integrated with SMS Gateway in

which following types of SMS would be sent to the citizen:

SMS when the Arms License is generated by Authority and sent for Printing.

SMS when the Arms License is READY for delivery

“e-Samadhan” application (Grievance Monitoring System) is integrated with SMS Gateway

and citizens would get the SMS when:



Application is entered into “e-Samadhan”

Whenever any action is taken on the application

Database of Election department is also integrated with the SMS Gateway. Citizen can get

the complete information of their polling station by sending a SMS to a predefined number

22. Common Payment Gateway


The State Government envisaged to setup online Payment Gateway facility for the payment

of various government dues using electronic payment gateway. This facility would be made

available not only to government departments, even utility organizations like HPSEBL/ MCs/

ULBs/ Boards/ Corporations can make use of this facility. The Citizens as well as

Government Departments/ Boards/ Corporations would be benefitted using this facility. The



Citizens would be able to pay their bills/ dues online from anywhere and anytime. At the

same time, the Government Departments/ Boards/ Corporations will receive their dues at a

much faster rate. All the departments must use State Electronic Payment Gateway, instead of

creating their own facilities, to pay government dues online.

Offer received from PNB for all Departments, Boards & Corporations in HP:

Internet Banking Charges - Free

Credit/Debit Charges - 1% (plus services tax)

Payment Gateway testing is going on with PNB

UCO Bank and SBI has yet to match the offer of PNB

preparation of result would be done through this software. Human intervention would be

minimized to speed up the whole examination process and reduce errors. The Project is being

implemented on turnkey basis using Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.
