27 Mar 2023 CW Team

This order was obtained through an open, competitive bidding process in accordance with the contract. The aforementioned project comprises upgrading, launching, and administering a state data centre in Madhya Pradesh as well as establishing a disaster recovery facility there for a five-year period. A SDC will be established as a shared, reliable, and secure infrastructure services centre for hosting and managing the e-Government applications of State and its constituent departments.

It would also include a wide range of features like the state's central repository, secure data storage, online service delivery, a portal for citizen information and services, portal for the state intranet, disaster recovery, remote management, and service integration. SDC would make it easier for government to government (G2G), government to consumer (G2C), and government to business (G2B) services to be delivered securely, reliably, and efficiently, increasing end-user satisfaction. To avoid costly service interruptions brought on by either man-made or natural disasters, disaster recovery (DR) services are necessary.

After this project is finished, more citizen-focused beneficial schemes using e-governance applications will be accessible to citizens at the touch of a mouse and contribute to improving the delivery of services to citizens, according to a statement from the Railway Ministry. This will increase the openness, efficacy, and efficiency of various government programmes, expenditures, and projects.
