The Government of Karnataka has been a pioneer in leveraging Information technology in easing the lives of both urban and rural citizens. Among various projects, the Bhoomi project is an unrivalled example of the extent to which a computerized application can benefit rural citizens. Under the program, 200 lakh land records of 70 lakh farmers living in 30000 villages of Karnataka have been computerized.
The village telecentres are key to decentralization of the Bhoomi program, which will enable the citizen to get a copy of his land record (RTC) at his village itself without having to travel to the distant Taluka office. He would also be able to file request for mutation through these village telecenters.
The Bhoomi data from the Taluka is replicated at the SDC on a daily basis. The village Telecentre accesses the Bhoomi records from the SDC. The rural citizen can approach the village Telecentre for copy of his RTC. The village telecentre accesses the RTC database stored in the SDC through the ‘RTC on web’ application, downloads, and prints the RTC for the villager. The other Bhoomi service that is delivered from the Village Telecentre is mutation extract. In coming days he would also be able to file his request for mutation because of inheritance or partition from these village telecenters.
Rural Digital Services (RDS) involves delivery of services of Revenue department from the Taluka to the citizen. These services include delivery of various types of Caste and Income Certificates, Registration of Birth and Death, Delivery of Birth and Death Certificates and application for Social Security Schemes like Old Age Pension, Widow Pension etc. In future services of other department like Social Welfare, Women and Child development etc. will also be added to the RDS platform.
In Karnataka currently, there are five ESCOM (Electricity Supply Companies) in operation –
BESCOM (Bangalore Electricity Supply Company), HESCOM (Hubli Electricity Supply Company), GESCOM (Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company), MESCOM (Mangalore Electricity Supply Company). ESCOM (Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Company). it is proposed that the collection of payments of Electricity Bills of rural citizens would be done through this network of telecentres. Currently the Government of Karnataka is engaged in a pilot for collection of electricity bills of rural citizens in two telecentres located in Anekal Taluka of Bangalore Urban district and three telecentres in Davangere. Based on the ongoing computerization efforts of the different ESCOM’s the same service will be expanded across the state and delivered through the 800 telecentres.
