delivered through the project.
7. Direct cost and time savings to deliver services
No third party agency study has been undertaken. However, the project has lead to major
cost and resource savings for the prisons. Previously the prisoners were taken physically
to be produced in courts; this has now been eliminated due to the use of video
conferencing for the purpose. This is safer also these visits to judiciary could be used by
the criminals to escape.
No third party agency study has been undertaken. However, the project has lead time
savings for the police officials who would previously accompany the prisoners when they
had to be produced to the judiciary. This is now accomplished by video conferencing for
the purpose. This ensures that the staff does not need to be deployed for taking and then
bringing back the criminals for production in courts.
8. Replication
This project has been replicated across all the prisons in the state of Jharkhand.
9. Implementation model
The project has been conceptualized, implemented and funded by the state government.
The software has been developed by the National Informatics Center, NIC.
10. Technologies
The software is running in two tire architecture. a. Client Server environment b. SQL
Server 2000 as data base c. VB is used as front end.
Further, as all the projects are prison oriented, all the prison Superintends, Jailors and
Officers at the prison headquarter, particularly Mr. Deepak Kumar Vidyarthi, A.I.G.
Prisons were keenly involved. Likewise, the video conferencing system at the Court end
for the production of prisoners from jail required the involvement of District and Session
Judge and concerned Chief Judicial Magistrate. The Acting Chief Justice of Jharkhand
High Court, Mr. M.Y. Iqbal, took keen interest in the said project.
