Odisha Endeavouring Digital Transformation for Effective Governance

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, NIC Odisha consistently stood at the forefront, driving digital transformation and fostering innovation. Known for organizational trustworthiness and cost effective solutions at both State level and Pan India, NIC Odisha thrives on applications that encompasses emerging technologies like AI, Cloud, DevOps, Micro-services, IIoT, GIS, RPA, and Cyber Security, etc. The shift from e-Governance to Digital India emphasizes inclusiveness, extending mere governance to true citizen empowerment. With this vision, NIC Odisha has undertaken numerous initiatives creating many comprehensive digital ecosystems.

F ounded in 1985 as one of NIC’s four Regional Centres, NIC Odisha was designated as the State Centre in 1998. It has since played a crucial role in driving e-Governance and ICT growth in Odisha, continuously evolving to meet increasing digital service demands. With advanced technologies like AI, data analytics, cybersecurity, cloud, and mobile computing integrated into governance, NIC Odisha is positioned for a transformative leap. The establishment of the National Data Centre in Bhubaneswar has further energized of NIC Odisha ICT initiatives.

ICT Initiatives in the State

NIC Haryana has been a pioneer in implementing innovative ICT solutions that enhance governance and simplify access to public services for citizens. Some of the key initiatives that have transformed governance in Haryana include:

Bhu-Arjan

Bhu-Arjan is a sophisticated, web-enabled application designed to comply with the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013, and Odisha RFCTLARR Rules, 2016. Engineered for efficiency, it automates the full spectrum of land acquisition processes, from Social Impact Assessments (SIA) to Rehabilitation, Resettlement, and Grievance Redressal. Adopted by 12 departments of Govt. of Odisha, BHU-ARJAN integrates seamlessly with Bhulekh for accurate land records and Property Registration for precise plot valuations. Its automated award calculation and family tree creation tools enhance accuracy, ensuring rightful beneficiaries are included in R&R processes. The platform also features a robust Grievance Management module, enabling citizens to submit concerns related to land acquisition and R&R anytime, anywhere. To date, BHU-ARJAN has generated error-free cost estimates totaling ₹628 crore for acquiring 47,000 acres of land across 527 projects, covering 2,254 proposals and 319 Terms of Reference (TOR), making it a transformative tool in Odisha’s land acquisition and resettlement landscape.

Fast, reliable and affordable connectivity is not the only way to create a brilliant platform for digital transformation, but it is considered the most important one, and National Informatics Centre (NIC) is a leader in this direction. It is heartening that NIC, Odisha, through its State and District Centres has been working with the administration in addressing grassroots level challenges through ICT enabled solutions. NIC Odisha has played a pivotal role in driving the State towards a future where technology and governance work hand in hand to enhance the lives of our citizens.
