Portal concept in line with Digital India Mission
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has launched Web-based Project Monitoring Portal (WBPMP) for Military Engineer Services (MES) at New Delhi on 20th October 2021, enabling real time monitoring of projects from its inception to completion.
All stakeholders not only from MES but also Armed Forces users can gain access to the project information. This is one among many initiatives of MES for the scientific management of this organisation.
The portal conceptualized in accordance with the Digital India Mission has been developed by Bhaskaracharya National Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG-G).
The newly launched unified portal is the first project management e-Governance to be implemented by the MES.
The Minister appreciated the initiative that has several advantages in monitoring the MES projects and congratulated it for going digital.
Taking forward the Digital India Mission, MES is also in process of implementing nine other e-Governance applications in an endeavor to increase productivity, build transparency and improve efficiency towards infrastructural development for the Army.
These include Product Approval Portal, AWMP Scrutiny & Status Application, E-Measurement Book, Budget Management Portal, Work Estimation Application, Billing and Construction Account Management, Cashbook Management and Accounting System, Contractor and Consultant Enlistment Portal & E-Deviation. These applications are expected to be developed by the end of this year and also to be amalgamated into singular Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) by mid of next year.
