ERPMS-A primer

Elected representatives all over the country are the pillars of democracy and are the primary interfaces with the public administration. These representatives play a very important role in the overall governance and hence should be a part of any e-governance initiatives. However, while there are several solutions that are deployed or being developed as a part of the state and central e-governance initiatives, there is no software that automates the functions and processes of these representatives. The lack of such software puts the elected representatives in a certain disadvantage, as they do not have real-time information about their constituency.

Elected Representatives Process management system (ERPMS) aims to fill that gap and bring the representatives to the forefront of e-governance initiatives. This not only allow the representatives to stay in touch with their constituents but also gives a fillip to the overall e-Governance initiatives as they are the key stakeholders in policy making process.
