Naveen launches MPLS VPN for RD department

Bhubaneswar, Feb 24 (UNI) Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today launched the Multi-Protocol Label Switching Virtual Private Networking (MPLS VPN) System for Rural Development Department on virtual platform.
The networking system will provide internal connectivity to the offices of the department at the local level, where internet connectivity is inadequate, Mr Patnaik said.
The Rural Development Department, which has the mandate for rural infrastructure development, is connecting its 247 offices through its own networking system called RD MPLS Network.
Through this network, all offices starting from Lokseva Bhawan to Sub-Divisions will be connected in one network with an uninterrupted internet facility.
The Chief Minister expressed happiness over the RD Department’s efforts to strengthen the Five T Initiative of the Government to bring about transformative changes by introducing technology-intensive applications.
This network will facilitate the use of online web-based applications to be used at field levels and further the 5T initiative of the Department in bringing transparency, effective monitoring and grievance redressal.
Mr Patnaik further said that the RD Department is already implementing web-based applications for an array of services including Tendering, Maintenance Management, Works and Accounts Management, Financial Management, grievance redressal and several other services.
He expressed confidence that with the help of these technologies, the department will be able to closely monitor the progress of the projects.
The RD Department has developed infrastructure facilities with over 1 lakh km of rural roads, facilities on 60 lakh square metres of area, 1400 completed bridges and 600 bridges under construction.
The system will help closely monitor the progress and maintenance of this infrastructure.
