Responsibility for online uploading of a major portion of the applications accepted through ‘Praja Palana’ counters from across the city has been handed over to a private agency, as GHMC, the nodal agency for implementation of the programme in the city, has only 300 data entry operators.
Commissioner Ronald Rose shared this piece of information during his visit to the Secunderabad zonal office where the applications from Begumpet and Secunderabad circles are being uploaded. Data entry has been taken up circle wise in order to meet the deadlines. A total of 635 data centres have been organised where 5,000 data entry operators belonging to various agencies are working in eight-hour shifts every day to complete the task.
The private agency provides computers and the data entry operators, but the job will be monitored by the GHMC officials, each of whom will act as team leader at each data centre, Mr. Ronald Rose said.
