New software for deployment of poll officials

In Uttar Pradesh a new software has been developed for the deployment of poll officials for this upcoming Assembly election . This software has been developed by National Informatics Center unit of U.P .

This software has been created to take all burden of deputing people on poll duties from the district magistrate .Group of NIC has started working on this software by following the directions of election commission .

Till yet , work of deploying officials for poll duties was done by DMS which use individual logistics and other resources and because of that there was no uniformity in the allocation of work and distribution of resources. The new software will help in streamlining the work.

EPDS is a data entry software, whereby the work of allocating duty as per the rules issued by the EC will be done by the software once the list of officials is fed into the system.

The new software will ensure that officials either working or residing in a particular Assembly constituency would not be deployed in the same constituency to ensure fairness.News via - rediff .
