  Key Benefits of E-GFD™ to a State Forest Corporation/ Department

  Following are some of the key benefits to State Forest Corporation / Department after implementation of e-Governance Solution:

  • Integrated Information & Services: E-GFD™ targets to use a government-wide electronic information infrastructure to simplify service delivery, reduce duplication, and improve the level and speed of service at a lower cost. It recommends creating, managing, and prudently sharing information electronically among the various departments and the different services offered by them. That is, information will be captured once, as close to the source as possible, then shared and re-used by all authorized users. This will avoid manual transcription and re-entering of the same information repeatedly.
  • Improved Overall Productivity: E-GFD™ will significantly contribute to improve overall productivity of the department personnel by ensuring faster interaction among them by electronic mail instead of moving paper files and letters. It will also assist in streamlining the workflow of internal administrative processes such as procurement, recruitment, evaluation, budgeting, planning.
  • Improved efficiency in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of various field activities through effective IT tools.
  • Creation of database for helping all the field executives in day-to-day decision making.
  • Bringing out data consistency, accuracy and transparency for the different wings of the department.
  • Preparation of strategic plans at State and District levels for easy monitoring of forest development activities.
  • Training of the concerned staff & capacity building in the department.
  • Better security and protection of Information.
  • Anytime anywhere access to critical information for timely and better decision making and planning thus providing a highly effective DSS (Decision Support System) for the top management.
