Implementation Strategy of e-Kranti

For implementation of the e-Kranti, various Central Ministries/ Departments and State Governments would be involved. Considering the multiplicity of agencies involved and the need for overall aggregation and integration at the national level, it is considered appropriate to implement e-Kranti as a programme, with well defined roles & responsibilities of each agency involved, and to create an appropriate programme management structure.

For the e-Kranti, following role assignments/ responsibilities are being followed/ proposed:

(a) The proposed Apex Committee on Digital India programme, constituted with Cabinet Secretary as its Chairman and Secretary, DeitY as its Member Convener, would be overseeing the e-Krantiprogramme also and providing policy and strategic directions for its implementation and resolving inter-ministerial issues. The Apex Committee, in addition would harmonize and integrate diverse initiative aspects related to integration of services, end to end process re-engineering and service levels of MMPs wherever required.

(b) Line Ministries/Departments would be responsible for the implementation of the assigned Mission Mode Projects (MMPs)/Components as indicated in Annexure. Mission Mode Projects would be owned and spearheaded by various line Ministries for Central Government, State Governments and Integrated projects Annexure. Each Department would work in a project mode within a tight, defined timeframe by preparing a detailed project document, either in-house or with the assistance of a Consultant. This document should clearly spell out all important aspects of the project like services and service levels, project implementation team, process reengineering proposed, change management plan, project management plan, timelines, etc. The services and service levels would be determined in consultation with the actual users and for this, each concerned department would form an Advisory Committee, on which users would also be represented.

(c) State Governments would be responsible for implementing State Sector MMPs, under the overall guidance of respective Line Ministries in cases where Central Assistance is also required. An Apex Committee on Digital India proposed to be constituted at the State level headed by the Chief Secretary would be used to monitor the e-Kranti implementation at state level. They would also analyse State specific requirements and recommend project proposals for inclusions/ deletions from the listed MMPs.

(d) DeitY would be the facilitator and catalyst for the implementation of e-Kranti by various Ministries and State Governments and would also provide technical assistance to them either directly or in collaboration

with external professional Consultants. It would serve as a secretariat to the Apex Committee and assist it in managing the programme. In addition, it would implement pilot/ infrastructure/ technical/ special projects and support components including those indicated in Annexure. DeitY would also prepare a suitable template for preparing project document, which could be used by individual departments for preparing their detailed project reports.

(e) DAR&PG would continue its responsibility towards Generic Process Re-engineering and Change Management, which are desired to be realised across all government departments. However, to upscale NeGP to deliver services, DAR&PG would focus on transformational approach in the Government Process Re-engineering (GPR) initiatives of various Ministries / Departments. For various Mission Mode Projects, concerned Line Ministries/ Implementing Agencies would be primarily responsible for carrying out the required Process Re-engineering and Change Management. DAR&PG/ DeitY would also be promoting initiatives for Human Resource

Development and Training and Awareness building.

(f) Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance would allocate funds for implementing e-Kranti both in existing and new MMPs through Plan and Non-plan budgetary provisions and lay down appropriate procedures in this regard. The projects in the portfolio of e-Kranti should be exempted from all budgetary restrictions and cuts such that the projects get implemented in time.

(g) Once the DPR of a project is approved by the Competent Authority, the Empowered Committee constituted for the purpose would be truly empowered to take all subsequent decisions, which should be implemented soon after the minutes of the EC are approved.

(h) The Council of Mission Leaders for Digital India proposed as a platform to share the best practices in Mission Mode Projects under NeGP and new e-Governance initiatives of DeitY would perform its envisaged role and responsibilities.

(i) The inter-departmental, integration and interoperable issues of integrated projects / e-Governance initiatives would be resolved by the Apex Committee headed by Cabinet Secretary. And the technical issues of integrated projects would be resolved by the Council of Mission Leaders headed by Secretary, DeitY.
