Android Phones To Monitor MNREGA

Google’s sweethearts, the little green robots, are getting all dusty and dirty in rural India these days. No, they aren’t on a vacation in these rustic farmlands but are rather doing some serious chores. Android phones are now being used by officers to monitor the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) projects in Bihar.

The District administration of Munger in Bihar has started this initiative and inspectors of MNREGA schemes in all panchayats have been given Android smartphones that have Bizframe’s Mobile Inspector app pre-installed on them.

Project officials are now able to send detailed reports of workers on site, pictures of working labor force and image proofs of social audit meetings, which are tagged with the GPS location of where the pictures were clicked.

The site supervisors can also complete their project reports and send them immediately over mobile networks thus saving several hours of clerical paper work each day.
