The Pilot census of MI schemes in Rajasthan through mobile
phones has been completed successfully. The Pilot census took around 50 days
and covered 10 districts and was carried out by around 750 field operators
working in tandem with around 45k to 60k records uploaded each day. We are able
to prove that it is possible in India to collect data through mobile phones on
real time basis.
The 'Central Monitoring System' enabled us to monitor real
time data collection work and the quality of work. This system has a unique
module which enabled us to map the suspicious data to the field supervisors for
its online verification and modification (if required) with his detail comments
through the system.
