They will come in handy for Disaster Management Authority and special squads
Inspired by the success of various online applications for crisis management, the district administration is planning to introduce a few more special purpose mobile applications to support the Disaster Management Authority as well as special squads deployed to address the pandemic scare.
Graduates or postgraduates in computer applications with expertise in programming will be appointed on contract basis soon to complete the projects in time. Android applications that can streamline the existing services of the district administration are also on the cards.
According to officials, the National Informatics Centre (NIC) will prepare a list of various applications needed to accelerate e-governance programmes. The increasing hit rate of previous applications and e-governance websites has also encouraged plans to roll out more user-friendly applications, they said.
