Empowering Rural India through Digitisation in Panchayats
eGramswaraj Portal has been developed with a vision to strengthen digitisation in Panchayats. It is a Simplified Work Based Accounting Application for Panchayati Raj. It is one of the applications developed as part of Panchayat Enterprise Suite (PES) under e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP).
eGramSwaraj aims to bring in better transparency and strengthen the e-Governance in Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) across the country through decentralized Profiling, Planning, Physical Progress, Reporting and Work-Based Accounting. There is a seamless integration between eGramSwaraj Portal and Local Government Directory (LGD) through Unique Codes allocated to each PRI which allows interoperability with other PES.
