C-DAC, a premier research and development organisation of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, was entrusted with the responsibility of developing a complete solution for ERSS to implement a ‘One India one emergency number 112’ by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. It was the total solution provider for implementation of ERSS-112 across the country. C-DAC has developed the core ERSS solution as per the guidelines of the Ministry and installed it in all States and Union Territories. The Union government is now planning to modernise ERSS-112 with next generation solutions in terms of performance and intelligence, a NITT press release said.
