NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) is an e-governance project
developed by NIC for the Ministry of Rural Development. Through the NREGA
portal, each user can access information related to him. The user can be
anybody-a citizen, Gram Panchayat, Zila Panchayat, workers, State R&D
departments, Ministry of Rural Development, the administrator in the government,
etc. NREGAsoft captures information about the registration of the worker, work
demanded, number of days of employment for the entire family, funds transferred,
etc. It is mainly built on a household survey. It enables faster information
exchange between the various users through the internet and also gives the user
the right to information.
This information can also be provided in the local language of a village.
There are various modules covered by it, catering to the different needs of the
users. The main advantage of this project is that anyone can access information
any time.
People in remote locations, that do not have any Internet connectivity at
home can access the information offline by just downloading it from a
nearbycomputer facility.
