IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.

Unlocking Public Value

A recent SAP study confirmed that those organisations which adopt best practices in the areas of scope and adoption, process standardisation, technology and customer governance, do perform better, and do so as their best practice maturity increases.

The idea is to see classroom lectures (notes) being mailed to students, so that they can concentrate in class rather than waste time taking down notes,” said Sridhar.

He said interactive web sites, projection systems and laptops are necessary tools for teachers.

Speaking at the lecture on `E-Governance Initiatives In Karnataka’ organised by the Indian Institute of Public Administration Karnataka Regional Branch on Tuesday, Sridhar said he had mooted out this suggestion recently at one of the seminars attended by the higher education department.

For e-university adoption mode of e-governance, there should be an e-library, e-examination or e-evaluation, all payments through e-system, student smart card, online counselling and notes being delivered online.

On BangaloreOne centres, Sridhar said the place for setting up such centres have been identified in Mysore, Mangalore, Gulbarga and Belgaum. At present, there are 43 centres that provides 29 services of 24 departments and utilities. Over 6.5 lakh persons benefit per month.

According to him, the idea for e-governance is to deliver services at the doorstep, make it hassle free, transparent, and facilitate decision makers to get all the datas, analyse and decide.

In regards to Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS), he said that HRMS is generating salary bills of more than five lakh employees spread across 29 districts and 176 taluks and maintaining their service history. Karnataka is the only state to have implemented HRMS.
