Department of Fertilizers

FERTNET is a close user group on Fertilizers Informatics Network that NIC has developed for the Deptt. of Fertilizers. This is a Web-based information system that provides information relating to fertilizer movement, production, distribution and subsidies paid to different fertilizer producers, equated freight fixation  and payment handling for fertilizer imports.

It has become easier to plan the widespread distribution of fertilizers based on the inter-related informatics support on demand and supply positions. This in turn helps in reducing transportation costs and demand-supply gap, and optimize the use of stocks. While most reports are available across all concerned departments, there are some (like the subsidy payment system) that are kept confidential.

Timely information about the production capacities and actual production ensures smooth and timely supply of fertilizers in the country including remote areas for sustainable agricultural production. While different modules under the project are already operational, the next step would be to integrate them to make the information available on a single window.

Government of India

IntraGOV is a Web-based portal that integrates G2G (government to government) and G2E (government to employees) operations. The key issue of G2E services is empowerment of the employee and resulting accountability. The project started in 2002 with the successful implementation of IntraNIC portal-a Sharepoint based Intranet solution.

IntraGOV solution is based on the IntraNIC model. This framework is built on Open Source and based on open standards. The application is built using Zope as the application and Web server, Plone as the content management server and Python as the scripting language. The portal offers services like collaboration and messaging services, document and content management, workflow automation and integration of various intra-departmental applications.

HDFC Bank

Signature Verification System is a rule and image based system that doesn't require any physical handling of instruments while verifying signatures during validating transactions. The system has a Hierarchical System Model with one central server and multiple regional servers. It auto-retrieves signatures and does intelligent processing. The list of authorized signatories has been converted into business logic and the user no longer needs to read through the written instruments. The signature that best qualifies business logic, is displayed to the user for verification. Re-verification option that follows the maker-checker concept, is used for instruments that are of high value or are suspicious in nature. The time taken for signature verification is reduced substantially as the users need not search for the required signature from the list of signatories in the core system for an account.
