Information Technology opens up tremendous opportunities to
provide basic government services to a much broader segment of the
population at the optimal quality, time, place and cost.
CARD
(Computer-aided Administration of Registration Department)
The Registration Department launched the CARD (Computer-aided
Administration of Registration Department) Project at 214 Sub
Registrar Offices (including 2 pilot sites) in 1998-1999 with an expenditure of Rs.22.7 Crores. Later it was
extended to another 25 SROs in the year 2001 with an expenditure of
Rs.3.7 Crores including strengthening and upgrading of the
"C" category S.R.Os and the remaining 148 Sub Registrar
Offices were computerized in the final phase.
e-Cops:
e-Cops was conceptualized by the Andhra Pradesh Police to computerize
the total policing by utilizing State-of-the-art technology which is
catapulting the AP Police into speedy processing, increased
efficiency, transparent policing and better interaction with the
citizens of Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra Pradesh Police has taken a lead in computerization in various
fields of police functioning. The State is a pioneer in developing
an automatic fingerprints identification system, which has greatly
enhanced the quality and speed of investigation. For the first time
in the State the recruitment results were processed with the aid of
computer and developed Software. The State is also taking a lead in
computerizing the records of the Department at all levels from
Police Station to Police Headquarters. Decision was taken to fully computerize
and network the Police Stations, Circle Offices, S.D.P.O
offices and District Police Offices to reduce delay and enable
officers to analyze crime, disseminate information, access records,
etc. In the field of Police administration, critical areas have been
identified leading to the development of e-Computerized Operations
for Police Services (eCOPS) Application Software.
FAST
Computerization
in the department was first taken up in the year
1988. In phases, offices at Hyderabad Central, Hyderabad North,
Hyderabad East, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Chittoor, Mahabubnagar,
Karimnagar, Warangal, Nalgonda and Head Office have taken up computerized
transactions on Unix operating system with Unify
database. This system has become out dated. It was proposed to shift
the operating system to Windows NT with Oracle database, which is an
advanced system. A proposal was initiated and a detailed study of computerization
of the department was done in the year 1997.
