AP calls for RFP to build People’s Hub, Land Hub, app store platform
HYDERABAD, JAN. 25:
  
How about an app (mobile gateway for a service) for all e-governance services?
The Andhra Pradesh government will soon call for tenders from System Integrators to build an App store platform, allowing developers to come out with people-friendly mobile applications to access various e-governance services.
Easy access

“The consortium that wins the RFP (Request for Proposal) would build necessary infrastructure to prepare an app store platform.

The developers would be allowed to submit app requests. After being vetted by the government, the apps would be put on the store.
It will help people access government services quickly,” J Satyanarayana, IT Advisor to AP government, told Business Line.

If the Government is the sole authority to issue all statutory certificates why should it ask citizens to submit them each time they apply for something?

The Andhra Pradesh government is trying to do away with this practice of asking for certificates soon. It is going to build People’s Hub and e-Highway, building a huge repository of identity information of all the five crore citizens.

“Each time a citizen applies for something, the department concerned would check the veracity of the applicant with the database. We are going to factor in the privacy issues involved in this. We have taken the global benchmarks in this,” he said.

“Most government departments work in silos. We have built 14 IT-based Packages under ePragati programme that covers a broad spectrum of 72 services offered by the government. One RFP for primary sector has been announced. This will be followed by two more in the next one-two weeks,” he said.
Investment size

The e-governance programme ePragati envisages investments to the tune of
2,500 crore in the public-private programme. Of this, 1,500 crore would come from the government, with the rest coming from the private parties.
The second RFP is related to bringing in IT solutions in education, while the third is for building core package that forms the IT backbone for all other packages.
“The core package would include a land hub, containing information on all the landholdings in the State,” he said.
