Nagpur: Nagpur Municipal Corporation (
NMC) has decided to
appoint a team of consultants to manage its e-governance system. The total salary of the team comprising three members will be Rs8 lakh. As the team would have to travel to other cities, the members will have to be paid travel allowance (TA), lodging and boarding charges, etc.
The proposal by e-governance department will be tabled before the standing committee meeting on June 25.
The project management unit (PMU) will comprise one principal consultant, senior consultant and consultant each. As per state government directives, these consultants will have to be hired from six agencies: Deloitte, Ernst and Young, Grant Thornton, PwC, KPMG and Wipro.
The consultants would be appointed for two years. Their scope of work will be sent to state government for approval.
E-governance was started under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) in 2007. The software was ready in 2010 and as per the contract, the solution provider was to provide support up to 2016. After this, the work was handed over to NMC's e-governance department. However, as the department does not have enough staff and the employees are not properly trained in handling the software, NMC has decided to seek outside help.
