Technical Supporting Staff
iv.
Library and Computer Centre Staff
v.
Administrative Staff
vi.
Maintenance staff and other miscellaneous staff
8.1
Faculty Cadre
The faculty structure should be as follows:
i.
Lecture/Senior Lecturer/Senior Lecture (S.G.)
ii.
Assistant Professor/Reader
iii.
Professor
iv.
Principal
8.2
Faculty Structure
The knowledge, skills, attitudes and values of staff are aspects which greatly contribute to their own individual effectiveness as well as to institutional performance. In addition to the norms on pattern and structure of staff, guidelines should also emphasize on the process of recruitment, development as well as appraisal.
The norms herein stipulated are primarily for an engineering institution with an annual intake of 180 to 240 students. These norms will have to be modified for various programmes offered by specific institution e.g. part-time, sandwich pattern, single discipline or based on multi point entry and credit system or distance learning mode.
The faculty structure will be based on the norms as given below:
8.3
Cadre distribution-flexibility
The desirable ratio for Professor, Assistant Professor, lecture could be 1:2:4 for each engineering department. However, for Undergraduate courses, a minimum of 1 Professor and 2 Asst. Professor/Readers at the senior level of the faculty for each course being offered may be ensured. This is to provide for situations where the institution may not be able to identify Programmes to ensure appropriate senior faculty at the U.G. level also.
As far as the Science and Humanities departments are concerned, there is need for a senior faculty member at Professor level provided it is ensured that such a senior faculty member is involved in inter-disciplinary activities in Applied Science and Mathematics. Therefore, while the need for a Professor will depend upon the level of academic activities, the recruitment of an Assistant Professor in each of the these departments even at the stage of establishment of the institution is required.
However, in either case efforts should be made to reach the desirable ratio.
8.4
Student Teacher ratio
The student staff ratio in a class will depend upon:
i.
teacher's time required for formal instruction and contact hours
ii.
student time devoted to formal learning requiring teacher's contact and
iii.
class size and type of instructions
The desirable student to teacher ratio for engineering degree program for the model curriculum will be 10:1. However, it should not be allowed to rise beyond 15:1.
Further, there should be continuous evaluation in tutorials, practical work, laboratory and project assignments.
Student-teacher ratio
Theory lecture class
60:1
Tutorials
15-20:1
Lab. Practical/Workshop/drawing
15:1
Project work
9:1
8.5
Training and Placement of students
Each institute should have a Training and Placement cell headed by an Officer of the cadre of Professor and who is responsible for developing linkages between institution and industry/corporate bodies. He should evaluate the job potential for students passing from different branches of Engineering and arrange for in-campus interview, and in-plant training etc. If it is not possible to find full time Professor for placement and training, it is suggested to appoint one of the Heads of Department as Placement Officer (Professor), who should be assigned a nominal workload of teaching also. This training and Placement Officer may have an officer who may serve as Public Relation Officer (PRO).
8.6
Training and Leave Reserve
To enable institutions to sponsor teacher for staff development programmes and to allow teachers to avail leave to which they are entitled, it is necessary that adequate reserve capacity should be available in accordance with leave training reserves sanctioned by Central/Staff Government from time to time. It will be desirable to have about 10% staff in excess.
8.7
Selection and Recruitment of the Teaching Staff
The positions of faculty members should be filled up through an open selection process. The post of senior lecturers and lecturers (selection grade) shall be filled by promotion from the cadre of lecturers. Institution should adopt reliable and valid procedures for selecting candidates on the basis of competence-knowledge skill attitude and values required for the profession, adhering to the stipulation regarding qualification and experience.
8.8
Qualification, Experience and Scales of Pay
As prescribed by AICTE from time to time.
8.9
Performance Appraisal
A performance appraisal system for teachers should be set-up, well integrated with institutional functioning and this should lead to the identification of individual training and development needs. This should also enable the identification of faculty members whose performance is outstanding. Such performance and excellence should be well-recognized and rewarded. All institutions should introduce a system for performance-appraisal conforming with the guidelines formulated in the regard.
8.10
Training and Development
Teachers will be provided with opportunity to improve their qualifications through quality improvement programmes. The opportunities will be provided for pedagogy and professional training.
Under the Quality Improvement Program a variety of short-term courses will be provided to meet training needs for all levels of teacher. States and institutions would have to plan in advance their training requirement and will deploy teachers on an annual basis for making use of these programmes.
Training of teachers is expected to contribute both towards their professional development and improvement in career prospects.
8.11
Technical and Other Staff
The Workshop Superintendent should be of a cadre of an Assistant Professor with nominal teaching workload. The Asstt. Superintendent Workshop (ASW)/Foreman in the Workshop should be given a cadre equivalent to that of Lecturer. The six workshop facilities consist of Carpentry, Welding, Smithy, Machine Shop, Fitting and Sheet Metal Shop. Each of these facilities would have a mechanic and an attendant. All these facilities should be headed by a ASW/Foreman.
The ratio of non-teaching (inclusive of administrative, ministerial, technical and other unskilled and semiskilled staff) to teaching staff should not exceed 3:1.
8.11.1
Library Staff
Library should be provided with the necessary staff to enable it to be available to the staff and students for at least 12 hours in a day. It is suggested that the library should consist of one librarian, one assistant librarian and four library assistants

The Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering discipline shall also be the Head of the Computer Centre if the discipline exists in the institute. There shall be one System Manager, One System Analyst and at least one Computer Programmer and two Computer Operators in the Computer Centre.
8.13
Visiting Faculty and Guest Lecturers
In view of the paucity of teachers in specialized subjects in order to cater to instructional requirements, visiting Faculty should be resorted to. However, the institution should be discouraged from exclusive dependence on visiting/part-time faculty on continuous basis in lieu of essential regular faculty.
Further, it is recommended that the institution should arrange, for the benefit of final year students, a minimum of 5 guest lectures from eminent people having high profile in profession.
The NBA policy guidelines
have been translated into a working plan of action by developing a systematic, logical and transparent procedure of accreditation through a process of discussions, deliberations and national consensus. Various accreditation parameters have been identified and benchmarks established for their levels of acceptance. These have already been widely disseminated during various “awareness” workshops and seminars conducted all over the country. Several national Bodies of academics and industry experts as well as over a thousand participants have contributed their collective expertise to this national task.
As an aid to the accreditation process, the AICTE, through its various All India
Boards of Studies has revised the Norms and Standards in various sectors of
Technical Education like Engineering & Technology, Management, Computer
Education, Pharmacy, Architecture, Town Planning, Technician Education and
Catering Technology. These norms have been approved by competent Bodies of
the AICTE, to provide a set of minimum essential requirements, both in terms of
the academic infrastructure as well as the financial, physical and other resources
essential for starting a new Degree/Diploma programme. These represent the
minimum requirements for approval of any new programmes. It is expected that
institutions desiring of and deserving accreditation will substantially exceed these
norms. This will ensure the current competence of the institutions to provide an
adequate level of teaching and learning processes as well as a capability to retain
this competence in the future.
7 ACCREDITATION PROCESS OF NBA
7.1 POLICIES OF NBA
(i) The Board will undertake evaluation for purposes of accreditation,
of all institutions and programmes approved by the AICTE, at regular
intervals not exceeding six years; with the fifth-year being the
preparatory period for the next accreditation.
(ii) The Board will provide feedback information to the Institutions,
Universities and Boards of Technical Education on innovative
activities and commendable achievements made by them to assist
further initiatives for improvement of the quality of education.
(iii) The Board will communicate its findings and recommendations to
the institutions concerned, and also give reasons for the intended action.
(iv) The Board will periodically publish a directory of accredited programmes.
(v) The institutions are expected to continue to maintain the standards
on the basis of which accreditation was given to the programmes. If,
at any time, the Board considers that the accredited programmes are
no longer in conformity with the required criteria, the accreditation
given may be revoked. The reasons for the revocation, however, will
be communicated to the Institution, the University or the Board of Technical Education.
5 (vi) The Board will undertake accreditation of only those programmes
from which at least two batches of students have graduated.
7.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The primary purposes of the NBA accreditation process are:
(i) To assist all the stakeholders (like parents, students, teachers,
educational institutions, professional societies, potential employers,
Government agencies) in identifying those institutions and their
specific programmes which meet the AICTE Norms, Standards and
other quality indicators specified from time to time. .
(ii) To provide guidelines for the desirable upgradation of existing
programmes and for the development of new programmes..
(iii) To encourage the maintenance of a standard of excellence and to
stimulate the process of continual improvements in technical education in the country.
7.3 PROGRAMME-LEVEL ACCREDITATION
The NBA has, after considerable deliberations and extensive debate, taken a
conscious decision to focus the accreditation process on the individual Post
Graduate/Degree/Diploma level programmes offered by an institution rather than on the institution itself. This is because of the fact that the aspiring students usually aim at making a career in specific disciplines like Computer Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering.Therefore, accreditation of a Post Graduate/Degree/Diploma level programme provides a more meaningful career guidance and decision support for the students after their course of studies is completed. This also assists the employers to suitably focus on their campus recruitment processes discipline-wise.
7.4 GRADING OF PROGRAMMES
Unlike in many other countries, the process of accreditation by the NBA is a
“yes” or “no” type two part grading system of accreditation. Individual
programmes shall be classified into one of the following categories:-
Accredited for Five years:- Excellent/Very good; meeting all accreditation
criteria or exceeding them.
Accredited for Three years:- Good; meeting the minimum criteria with
deficiencies being marginal and can be improved within a short time.
Not Accredited (NA): - Not ripe for accreditation, due to the seriousness of
the deficiencies.
67.5 PROVISION FOR WITHDRAWAL
The institutions have the option to withdraw a programme during the
accreditation process by a written request to the Visiting Team Chairperson,
after being informed of its strengths and weaknesses, but before the Visiting
Team holds formal discussion among its members for finalizing the Report.
The purpose of this provision is to enable the institutions to improve the
programme quality after making the necessary investments and corrections
to overcome the indicated weaknesses, rather than be assigned a ‘Not
Accredited’ status. The institution can apply again for the accreditation of
programme(s) being withdrawn together with the specified fees, after a
period of three months from the date of the visit.
8 ACCREDITATION PARAMETERS AND CRITERIA
The criteria and standards, by which individual programmes in any institution
will be judged, have been carefully formulated so as to give a clear and transparent
indication of the strengths and weaknesses of the programmes.
These are classified into indices that measure the quality of different aspects of the
programmes, viz., Organization/Infrastructure, Academic Performance and
Industry Interaction. The criteria evolved for the measurement of performance
under each of these indices are given below..
8.1 ORGANIZATION/INFRASTRUCTURE INDICES:
Criterion I. ORGANISATION AND GOVERNANCE
(a) Planning and Monitoring; Faculty/Staff recruitment/promotion policies and
effectiveness; Leadership, Motivation, Transparency, Decentralization,
Delegation and Participation of Faculty; Efficiency.
Criterion II. FINANCIAL RESOURCES, ALLOCATION AND UTILISATION
(a) Capital resources, Operational budget, Maintenance budget, Developmental
resources and budget; Percentage utilization of grants allocated.
Criterion III. PHYSICAL RESOURCES (CENTRAL FACILITIES)
(a) Land, Buildings, Hostels, Support services (water, electricity, communication,
other services.); Office equipment, Internet; Canteen, Transport and Medical facilities.
8.2 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE INDICES:
Criterion IV. HUMAN RESOURCES-FACULTY & STAFF
(a) Faculty : Numbers, Students/faculty and Cadre ratios and their adequacy;
Faculty Qualifications/Experience; Workload (Teaching, Research,
Consultancy, Administration); Attitudes, Commitment, Service rules; Faculty
Development (QIP, Conferences, Continuing Education, Professional Studies,
CRITERIA & WEIGHTAGES
15. CRITERIA FOR ACCREDITATION
One of the major objectives of NBA is to encourage the institutions to continually strive towards the attainment of excellence. The NBA evaluation processes are so designed as to facilitate identification of the strengths and weaknesses of the programmes under accreditation. The NBA hopes that this will help the institutions in improving the quality and effectiveness of their programmes.
As indicated in an earlier paragraph, the evaluation process is based on a set of eight broad-based criteria developed through a lengthy participatory process involving more than 1000 participants concerned with Technical Education all over India. These criteria are being described here in some detail. Each criterion serves to assess a principal feature on the institutional activities and programme effectiveness. Hence, each of them is described in terms of carefully identified parameters, amenable to a substantially objective and quantitative assessment.
Institutions seeking accreditation of their programmes are expected to satisfy each of the criteria individually. They are expected to adhere to these criteria during the validity period of accreditation granted.. They are also encouraged to periodically review the strengths and weaknesses of their programmes and strive for their continuous improvement.
Criterion I : ORGANIZATION AND GOVERNANCE
This criterion applies to Institutional Management, Organization and Governance. Every institution should have a mission and a set of goals. Every programme offered by the institution should also have its objectives and goals. The mission and goals should be articulated and made known to every one in the institution.
The successful pursuit and realization of the mission and goals and the means adopted to accomplish them brings out the quality of the institution and its programmes. The goals should be concrete and realistic within the context of the committed resources. They should define the educational and other dimensions, including scholarship, research, public service and customer satisfaction. The effectiveness and extent of achievement of goals depend on the commitment, attitude, planning and monitoring capacity, incentives and self-appraisal policies of the Management. Similarly, Organization and Governance depend on the qualities of leadership, motivation, transparency of the operation, decentralization and delegation of powers, participation of faculty in the management, planning, and general efficiency indices.
Criterion II: FINANCIAL RESOURCES, ALLOCATION AND UTILIZATION
There is a need for the institution to be financially stable. The financial resources should be adequate to sustain not only the achievement of current educational objectives, but also provide for improvements in the foreseeable future. There should be a mechanism to ensure proper financial management and a well-organized process. Not only the allocation of adequate budget for capital (non-recurring) works (including infrastructure, and equipment ) and Operational (Maintenance) budget and development budget of recurring type are important, but also their utilization for institutional/departmental activities besides, generation/mobilization of finances are also important for the future of institution/programmes.
Criterion III: PHYSICAL RESOURCES (CENTRAL FACILITIES)
There must be available adequate space and appropriate physical resources, including buildings, laboratories, equipment, material, library and other ancillary facilities. While examining the physical resources, there is a need to ensure provisions for safety, security and hygiene. Besides, the availability of language laboratory, councelling and guidance celll, medical facilities, canteen, transport and other units. will go a long way in gaining the confidence and respect of students and faculty/staff alike, leading to considerable improvements in the quality of the programmes.
Criterion IV: HUMAN RESOURCES : FACULTY AND STAFF
The faculty strength, cadres, qualification and level of competence and performance should be adequate to accomplish the institutional mission and goals. The commitment, attitudes and communication skills of the faculty play an important and crucial role in successfully running the academic programmes. This, in turn, depends upon the recruitment procedures, incentives, exposure to industrial activities, faculty development programmes and workload of the faculty. Each institution should have self-appraisal and in-house performance -appraisal mechanisms to monitor and ensure their continued effectiveness.
The qualifications of the faculty relevant to the programme area are generally measured by the advanced Degrees held by them, and their scholarship, creative activities and professional experience. The faculty are expected to act not only as instructors, but also as student advisors, academic planners and curriculum developers, and also to assist in institutional administration.
Faculty selection reflects the effectiveness of the management's commitment. The institution is expected to adopt an open process for recruiting its faculty members. Adequate employment security, salaries and benefits to commensurate with the position, provision for continued professional development, and periodic evaluation for their vertical mobility should be ensured and made known to the faculty.
The workload of the faculty should be such that it should not hinder their effective performance. The institution should protect and foster academic freedom for each member of the faculty and develop mechanisms to ensure that the faculty act responsibly, ethically and in conformity with the prescribed conditions of employment. The faculty members should strive to maintain professional competence and scholarly pursuits.
In the case of supporting staff, besides adequate numbers and appropriate qualifications, the requirements are: hands-on experience, skills, attitudes, commitment and involvement with the institutional objectives. The recruitment procedures, performance appraisal, incentives skill development possibilities and rewards should be transparent and objective. The inter-personal relations and interactions among and between faculty, supporting staff and students constitute an important ingredient in achieving the institutional goals.
Criterion V : HUMAN RESOURCES: STUDENTS
The administrative policies and procedures should be objective and transparent. The number of qualified candidates in national/state level tests, the number admitted and dropouts , their ranking in the overall merit list of candidates seeking admission, are some of the factors that reflect the institutional effectiveness. The evaluation procedures, academic results and time taken for completion of these requirements are important parameters. The graduation requirements should be made known to every student. The Diploma/Degree awarded should appropriately reflect the student's attainments. Information with regard to employment of the graduates and feedback from the employers help the institution to reorient its goals so as to enhance effectiveness.
Criterion VI: TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESSES
Each Diploma programme should be comprehensive to provide the student sufficient inputs in basic sciences, technical subjects (including general and specific/chosen), different technologies and training in relevant experimental/technical skills, so as to embark on a technical career as a Diploma holder or to enter into a professional engineering stream.
Each undergraduate Degree programme should embody general and specialized professional content of adequate depth and breadth , and should include appropriate Humanities and Science components. The core of the main programme should concentrate on acquisition of knowledge and skills in the specific discipline, and also ensure exposure to inter-disciplinary areas. There should also be an effective relationship between the curricular content and practice in the field of specialization. In addition, the students successfully completing the programme should demonstrate their competence in oral communication, scientific and quantitative reasoning, critical analysis, logical thinking, creativity and capacity for self-learning.
Postgraduate degree programmes should be designed to give students mastery in their specialized field of study. They should have coherent curricula and should enable the students to advance substantially beyond the educational requirements of the undergraduate Degree level..The institutions offering both undergraduate and postgraduate Degree programmes should assess the relationship and interdependence of the two levels, and utilize the resources of both for collective improvement. Postgraduate programmes should not be offered unless resources and expectations greatly exceed those required for the corresponding undergraduate programme.
The academic calendar, number of instructional days, contact hours per week, delivery of syllabus, student evaluation and feedback are some of the important aspects in evaluating the teaching-learning processes. Effective teaching-learning processes include the development of practical skills through laboratory experiments, workshop practice and operation of modern equipment. They also require the inculcation of computing skills which make the availability of extensive library, internet and educational technology facilities a major necessity. The budget provision to meet the expenditure for the consumables required in the laboratories and the workshops is one of the indicators of the extent of hands-on practice that can be given. Implementation of the instructional programmes, lectures, tutorials, student-teacher interactions, group discussions, student centric learning initiatives, seminars and laboratory work have a direct bearing on the effectiveness of the teaching-learning processes. Maintenance of the course files by the teachers will help in assessing the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes.
Criterion VII : SUPPLEMENTARY PROCESSES
The institution should provide the environment, which fosters not only the intellectual, but also the personality development of its students. It should have personality development opportunities provided through co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and student services. These opportunities are to enable the students to become responsible members of the society. The services and facilities should be readily accessible to the students.The students undergoing the programme should have access to facilities for career development, counselling and health education. Opportunities to develop leadership qualities and participation in seminars and group discussions should be created.The institution offering the programme should ensure that individuals responsible for co-curricular activities are well trained with work experience and possess personal qualities required to deal with the needs of students effectively. Facilities and funding should be adequate to create and maintain these student services. Policies concerning student responsibilities and grievance-redressal procedures are to be clearly stated and publicized. There should be a mechanism for regular and systematic evaluation to assess the fulfillment of the co-curricular goals and student needs.
Counselling and Guidance, professional society activities and entrepreneurship development, business ethics are some of the supplementary processes, which need to be promoted. Substantial feedback from employers and alumni should be obtained to assess the effectiveness of the academic programmes.
Criterion VIII : RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT AND INTERACTION EFFORT
In the case of Diploma and undergraduate Degree programmes, teachers should participate in projects and quality improvement programmes in research institutions/ University departments. Such an involvement will not only improve the teaching- learning processes, but also enhance the quality of project work.
In the case of postgraduate Degree programmes, the aim should be to attain the stature of a Centre of Excellence. Grant of the status of Special Assistance Programme/ COSIST or other such support from UGC and other Agencies of the Government is an indication of the quality of the postgraduate Degree Programmes. The department should also undertake academic/ sponsored industrial R & D projects. Joint guidance with industry/ R & D laboratory/ other institutions for Ph. D theses / M Tech. Projects will not only develop close interaction between the department, industry and R & D laboratories, but will also enhance the quality if research. The criteria for evaluation of the Ph. D theses and M Tech. projects are important indicators of the quality of research work. Publications, citations, patents and resource allocation are the other indicators of the effectiveness of research work relevant to the postgraduate programmes.Industry participation in curriculum planning, consultancy, project work and extension lectures are essential to achieve the professional goals of the academic programmes in Engineering and Technology. At the same time, the knowledge and experience of the teachers can be utilized by the industry for technical advice. This, in turn, will help the teachers to gain insight into the latest industrial practices.The fast-changing technologies also call for Continuing Education Programmes for personnel from industry. Similarly, industrial-internship for faculty will give them a sound exposure to the industrial practices.Industrial visits and industrial training are essential for creating professionalism among the students, and will help them in securing placement at appropriate levels in industries and other employment sectors.

POSTSCRIPT( criteria, parameters and weightages drawn up by the NBA).
The guidelines and criteria adopted by the NBA lend themselves to a substantially
quantitative evaluation of major and core academic parameters in respect of faculty,
students and the teaching-learning processes. Some element of subjective assessment
cannot be avoided. However, this has been reduced to a minimum and the parameters can be assessed to a reasonable and acceptable degree, so that the results of the overall accreditation exercise are impartial and fair to the maximum possible extent.
Apart from organizing awareness workshops all over the country, the AICTE has
organized a number of special workshops to familiarize selected groups of experts
with the Accreditor’s Manual as well as simulation visits to train the evaluators at
selected institutions. These workshops have subsequently confirmed the perceptions
regarding the benchmarking of good Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes
as per the criteria, parameters and weightages drawn up by the NBA.
THE NBA ACCREDITATION VISIT
The Visiting Team consists of a Chairperson, two Programme Experts (preferably
one of them being from industry/user organization) and a General Evaluator. The
Visiting Team includes senior academicians and/or engineers/technologists having
no conflict of interest with the institution to be visited, and who are selected on the
basis of their high standing in the profession, capacity to assess curricula,competence
in appraisal based on overall objectives and performance towards the achievements of set goals.
CHAIRPERSON :_The Chairperson of the Visiting Team has the overall responsibility for the accreditation visit. The Chairperson assigns duties to each Team Member keeping in view the overall perspective. He should be familiar with the accreditation process and gather in advance the earlier reports, if any. He
has the responsibility for the preparation of the consolidated Team Report,
for the consideration of the NBA Sectoral Committee.One of the Members of the Team will be identified to take on the role of the Chairperson if the Team Chairperson is unable to undertake the visit due to some unforeseen circumstances.
PROGRAMME EXPERTS
These Programme Experts are responsible for the evaluation of individual programmes. Usually there is one Expert for each programme from the academic field, the other one being from industry/user organization. The later can sometimes serve as an Expert for more than one programme depending on his competence and abilities. However, in case two programmes with substantial duplication in course- content are being offered within a Department, a single set of two/three Experts may be chosen for both the programmes. For programmes in emerging or inter-disciplinary areas, there can be more number of experts, depending on the need.
The duties of the Programme Experts include evaluation with reference to the criteria given earlier, through physical verification of infrastructure/ facilities, records, interviews with students/other stakeholders and other activities, which they find necessary for the total performance appraisal. The experts are also required to mention strengths and weaknesses against each criteria in the worksheet. In order to provide transparency to the process,
NBA may appoint independent Observers, and the Visiting Team Chairperson will be informed accordingly.In case any Programme Expert is unable to undertake the visit due to circumstances beyond his/ her control, the Chairperson will nominate another Expert keeping in view the guidelines for selection of Experts.
GENERAL EVALUATOR
The General Evaluator is responsible for examining the self-appraisal information provided by the institution. He should be closely associated with the Chairperson in all the visits/discussions and he is also required to make a Report. Usually the General Evaluator will be a senior academic or an industry representative, with long experience in assessment and accreditation assignments.
ACTIVITIES DURING THE VISIT
Normally, the Visiting Team requires a 3-day visit in order to complete the
assessment process. However, for single programme the visit will be only
for 2 days. Recent examination papers, laboratory instruction sheets, student
transcripts, student reports, and such other material that may be of relevance
in assessing the student performance, would be made available to the Visiting
Team by the institution during their visit. Textbooks, teaching assignments and lecture files which the faculty use for instruction and continuous evaluation of students would also be made available for the perusal of the Team. Qualitative facts such as professional attitudes, staff commitment, intellectual atmosphere and morale should; also be assessed and quantified by the Visiting Team to the extent possible.
Specifically, the following activities are expected to be completed by the Visiting Team during the visit:-
1. Discussions with Senior Administrators who form part of the Management, including the Vice-Chancellor (in case of University/ Constituent College) /Principal/Dean/Head of the Department of the concerned programme;
2. Discussions with groups of faculty members, and, if necessary, individuals to assess professional attitudes, commitment, morale and intellectual atmosphere;
3. Discussions with students, alumni and parents/employers if available, for obtaining their feedback;
4. Discussions with faculty members of support Departments (like Mathematics, Physics);
5. Discussion with the supporting staff – both administrative and technical;
6. Visits to laboratories, library, computer centre, centre for extension activities, placement cell, sports, medical and other facilities.
7. Perusal of all the documents furnished by the Department/Institution to support the claims made in the Profiles submitted to the NBA.
8. A final meeting with Senior Administrators and others, to explain the strengths and weaknesses of the programme(s), as observed by the Visiting Team. If the institution expresses a desire to withdraw the programme(s) from being considered for accreditation, the same may be permitted at this stage.
SCHEDULE OF THE VISITING TEAM
The following is a typical schedule for the Visiting Team, valid in all the cases except in those of single disciplinary programmes where the visit will be for two days.

1. PREAMBLE
The New Education Policy of 1986 had recognized the need for a statutory Body at
the national level responsible for overseeing the growth and quality of technical
education in the country. Accordingly the All India Council for Technical Education
(AICTE) was established by an Act of the Parliament in 1987. As a part of its
programmes and activities, the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) was set up
by the AICTE in September 1994, in order to assess the qualitative competence of
educational institutions from the Diploma level to the Post-Graduate level in
Engineering and Technology, Management, Pharmacy, Architecture, Town
Planning and related disciplines. The NBA is also concerned with assessing and
assuring the quality of the various constituent elements of these educational
institutions, such as academic ambience, infrastructure, financial resources, physical
resources, human resources, supporting systems like library resources,
computational resources, and avenues to mould and develop the students’
personality and learning characteristics.
2. WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?
Accreditation is a process of quality assurance, whereby a programme in an
approved institution is critically appraised at intervals not exceeding six years to
verify that the institution or the programme meets the Norms and Standards
prescribed by the AICTE from time to time. Accreditation does not seek to replace
the system of award of Degrees and Diplomas by the Universities and Boards of
Technical Education. But, accreditation provides quality assurance that the academic
aims and objectives of the institution are known to be honestly pursued and
effectively achieved by the resources currently available, and that the institution
has demonstrated capabilities to ensure effectiveness of the educational
programme(s), over the validity period of accreditation.
A major policy adopted by the NBA is to accord accreditation, not to the institution
as a whole, but at the programme level, like the three year Diploma programme
after 10, four-year under-graduate engineering Degree course after 10+2, and the 4
semester M.E./M.Tech programme after the Bachelor’s Degree. Furthermore, the
programmes are to be graded into three categories viz., Accredited for five years,
Accredited for three years and Not Accredited (NA), depending on the marks they
achieve on a 1000-point scale. This is especially important for promoting a healthy
competition for quality achievement among the different Degree/Diploma
programmes of the same institution, as well as among similar programmes in
different institutions. Thus, in a given institution, some programmes may be
accredited for five years, while some others may be accredited for three years and
some even denied accreditation.
3. WHY ACCREDITATION?
The need and demand for accreditation of technical education programmes in India
has arisen because of the explosive growth in the number and the variety of such
educational institutions and programmes since the decade of the nineties. Though
education in Engineering and Technology continues to be available only to less
than ten percent of eligible 10+2 graduates, it is not possible to meaningfully sustain
the present growth rate without a parallel exercise in quality assessment of the
2
programmes. Such an exercise will ensure that the institution indeed has, and is
likely to continue to have in the near future, the necessary instruments and resources,
for the programmes to deliver technical manpower that not only meets the local
industry requirements, but is also an acceptable human resource for the global job
market in the Engineering and Technology sectors.
The overwhelming objective of the accreditation process is to recognize and
acknowledge the value-addition in transforming the raw student admitted to the
programme into a capable technical professional, having a sound knowledge of
fundamentals and an acceptable level of professional and personal competence for
ready employability in responsible technical assignments.
4. WHO WILL BE ACCREDITED?
Programmes approved by the AICTE, which have graduated at least two batches
of students, are eligible to apply for accreditation.
The NBA has already assessed and accredited nearly 1000 programmes in about
200 technical institutions in the country covering a wide spectrum, that includes
full-fledged technical Universities, autonomous/affiliated/Government/aided
Institutions, National Institutes of Technology(earlier Regional Engineering
Colleges), as well as private self-financing Institutions.
5. WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF NBA?
The NBA functions through its Board, Sectorial Committees, the Visiting Teams
and is supported by its Secretariat, located at the AICTE Headquarters, New Delhi.
The Composition of the Board is as follows:
– Chairperson of the Board 1
– Representatives from Industry/ R&D establishments and eminent educationists 7
– President, The Institution of Engineers (India) (Ex-officio) 1
– President, The Pharmacy Council of India (Ex-officio) 1

c) Who are Public Information Officers (PIOs) ?
PIOs are officers designated by the public authorities in all administrative units or offices under it to provide information to the citizens requesting for information under the Act. Any officer, whose assistance has been sought by the PIO for the proper discharge of his or her duties, shall render all assistance and for the purpose of contraventions of the provisions of this
Act, such other officer can be treated as a PIO.
Department of Personnel & Administrative Reforms, Government of Bihar is the nodal/administrative department for coordinating all activities in accordance with the provisions of the Right to Information, Act, 2005. As per its instructions, all the government departments have notified their PIOS, and Appellate Authorities.
To assist the PIOS government has also notified Assistant Public
Information Officer (APIO). Apart from officers of the department posted in State Secretariat headquarter, field officers in the 9 divisional HQ, 38 revenue districts and 534 Community development (CD) blocks have also been notified as PIOS /APIOS.
As depicted in the figures of the State (At a Glance as Annexure-I),it is apparent that a large number of developmental activities, especially in human resource development, health, poverty alleviation programmes,
infrastructure development, road/building construction, industrial
development, etc., are taking place for the benefit of common man. The developmental strategy for equitable and inclusive growth necessitates the need to leverage state's strength and core competence in such activities that
harness our large talented human resource, fertile land favourable weather, rich historical legacy, etc.
Usage of "Right to Information" is expected to ensure transparency in observing procedures & perhaps result in optimal utilisation of resources. In the process, it was felt necessary to integrate transparency and process reform to simplify regulations and procedures.

CHAPTER - 2
Project "JAANKARI"-A Facilitation Centre Approach
2.1 Common experience and the empowerment of citizens
It’s common experience that masses often are oblivious and ignorant about how the Government decisions are made. This lack of transparency acts as a barrier which prevents the masses not only from actively participating in the Governmental functioning, but also from raising questions and protecting from impaired or ill-advised decisions. Non- transparency also promotes and disguises official graft and favoritism. It’s
here that e-Governance can play an essential role in bringing the
governmental policy and processes to light.
Government transparency should be embedded in the decisions of all ICT systems. For example, official corruption can be reduced by re- organizing activities, such as licensing, permit, etc, and creating an online monitoring system to track each application, whereby official could be identified and held personally accountable for any action or inaction at any
stage. It was felt that highly-placed public officials can expedite
transparency and accountability efforts by making their offices positive examples of openness. While putting services online, citizens should be given the ability to track the status of their applications.
Good patronage of any such system would require training of civil
servants and provision of incentives to reform. There are many factors, e.g. class, race, ethnicity, geography, etc., which can, severally or interactively, disenfranchise the disadvantaged sections /groups. Another factor, i.e. digital divide is fact emerging as a potent disenfranchise factor in this age of information Revolution. The Digital Divide is the chasm between those who have internet access and these who have not. The "have nots" cannot learn essential computer skills, cannot have benefits of e-Governances. E-Government must address this digital
divide by working towards the bridging of this gap.
Bridging the digital divide entails much more than merely addressing the race, caste and class issues. If such a technology programmes has to succeed, then it must attempt to create new opportunities for the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, particularly the women, the aged and the most downtrodden people who are traditionally isolated from the Government programmes. Such technology programmes must tackle the
twin issues, of e-literacy and accessibility especially for the disadvantaged groups of the rural Bihar.
‘Gyandoot’ Project is an apt example how this digital divide can be
bridged by connecting a remote part of rural hinterland to the e-government through the Internet in order to benefit the rural population. An effort can be made by enlisting grass root level Government officials/ workers, to teach basic computer skills, to create computer labs in local libraries or schools,
with the goal of empowering the rural poor to explore opportunities beyond their immediate boundaries including the opportunities for increased civic participation.
Government of Bihar while making efforts for development on all
fronts, is also keen on introducing transparency in the Government process.
To ensure this, it has been consciously decided to implement the provisions of Right to Information (RTI) Act, effectively in the State. In all the Govt.
Departments and District Offices, Public Information Officers (PIOs) have been designated and appellate authorities have been notified.
2.1 Problems of the citizens:
Keeping the above points in mind, by consensus it was felt that the most common problems being faced by the people vis-à-vis RTI are as follows:
• Many people cannot fill Form A, as mentioned in the relevant Rules or draft application. Some of them are illiterate and due to this factor alone, RTI cannot be used by a huge section of population.
• People do not know which Department to approach for different issues. And without this knowledge, it is impossible to file an RTI application easily.
• Even if one knows the Department, there are multiple Public Information Officers (PIOs) in a Department and it would be quite difficult for a person
to know who is the right PIO, suited to his requirement.
• For an illiterate citizen in remote areas of the state, where many variations of different languages like Maithili, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Angika etc. are spoken,
there was a need to have an interpreter/ intermediary who could
communicate with individuals and translate the "need" in Hindi, Bihar's official language.
11
• Meeting government officials face -to-face & asking for information may not be an easy experience. Introducing an opaque level, that of a Facilitation
centre, provides comfort level to the applicants. Sending the request-for- information application by post is not a comfortable option for the applicant as he is not sure if it would reach its destination in time. Demanding an acknowledgement would mean extra cost implications.
• Depositing application fee of Rs.10 is another nightmare. One has to either go in person to the concerned office to deposit cash or make a Demand Draft
or a postal order. Apart from a financial implication, it also involves
spending a lot of time investing Bank/post office
• With a population of approximately 85 million, Bihar is spread over an area
of 94163 sq km. Many districts headquarter are located more than 200 km
away from the state headquarter, at Patna, a repository of State held
information. Traveling to Patna for submitting an application also involves
money & time.
• If one does not the get "right" information, filling an appeal is even more
complicated and tiring process.
It was therefore difficult to file an RTI application or to file an appeal.
This was reducing RTI to be an affair of elite, urban, educated middle class
only. Taking RTI to masses, including illiterates and to address all the above
issues by means of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT)
concept of utilizing a Call Centre as facilitation Centre was thought to be a
possible solution. Inputs from "Parivartan" and Sri Arvind Kejriwal helped
in better formulation of the Project.
RTI Act has major role in promoting e-literacy, especially among the
poor and disadvantaged sections of the society. And to ensure e-literacy, the
factor of accessibility must also be taken care of. Governments must be
sensitive to the special needs of poor, physically challenged and disable
persons. It must design its services with appropriate interfaces suited to the
disadvantaged persons. However, this accommodation and customization
has significant cost implications.
The poor, disadvantaged and challenged section of the population can
substantially benefit from e-government services, as they may not be able to
travel to government officers or the downtrodden people may not be able to
articulate their demands.

2.3 Solution- Project "JAANKARI" - an ICT initiative
Visualizing the ramifications of the RTI Act for people’s
empowerment and its effectiveness in reduction of corrupt practices in
government offices, which result mostly due to holding of information and
avoiding transparency, the State Government of Bihar decided to make
provision of RTI Act more broad based and easily accessible to ordinary
people. It was decided that ICT (Information, Communication and
Technology) be innovatively and effectively employed for expanding the
base of the RTI access and that a Facilitation Centre Called "JAANKARI"
for RTI be set up, for the first time in India.
To give shape to State Government’s desire and commitment for
transparency and people’s participation in Government process via RTI, it
was decided that currently available Information Technology tools and
Communication access should be used effectively to make "Information"
available to a large number of people in a comfortable way. To overcome
the digital divide and illiteracy incapacities, it was thought that the most
universal of all communication i.e. voice communication over phone line be
used for generating RTI applications. The Facilitation Centre was to be
equipped more with more than 15 sets of Computers, (capable of being up
graded up to 30 sets) Operators, necessary software for application, telecom
interface and voice recording H/W & S/W. Facilities for its monitoring as
well as qualitative analysis were also put in place. Special Secretary, Chief
Minister Secretariat, Bihar was assigned to monitor and remove all
administrative and technical bottlenecks in the Project. Authorisation was
given to review all arrangements on regular basis with all the stakeholders
i.e. Facilitation Centre, telecom department, the PIOs, Beltron, the
administrative department, NGO and most importantly feedback from
common man.
Bihar Government's RTI Facilitation Centre “JAANKARI” for filing
RTI application with the concerned State government Department works on
premium rate services of BSNL.
System designed to enable a citizen wishing to file an application for
seeking any information under RTI Act, without any hassles of physical
movement for purchase of postal order ( for the requisite RTI application fee
of Rs.10/-)going to the designated RTI Officer of the concerned department.
The primary and mandatory requirement was to charge RTI application
fee(Rs.10/-) from the citizen without physical transaction of money. This
13
could be fulfilled with the help of BSNL Premium Rate Services. BSNL’s
Premium Service is basically a special service for subscribing premium
services like Doctor’s Advice, Fortune Telling, Exam Results over
telephone, by paying at a premium rate i.e. higher than the normal Call tariff.
Later the Premium Service Provider gets his share of revenue from BSNL
consolidated over a month.
All the facilities were quickly put up in place and the “JAANKARI”
Facilitation Centre was located in the State Government’s Software
Technology Park in BISCOMAUN Tower, Patna. The State Government
asked Beltron to procure the necessary hardware, software & authorised to
operate it. The operation was outsourced to a government neutral agency.
The Facilitation Centre executives were not from government and hence
were unbiased. The Software was designed in consultation with officials
who had been operating another e-Janshikayat software from CM
Secretariat.
Under the overall supervision of CM Secretariat, the state pubic sector
undertaking Bihar State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd.
(BELTRON) was entrusted with the responsibility of operationalising the
RTI Facilitation Centre within a time period of 2 months Centre. The Chief
Minister aptly gave the name “JAANKARI” for the Facilitation Centre.
Necessary amendments were made by the State Government in the relevant
rules to lower the fees for filing first and second appeal to Rs. 10/- each, to
enable e-transactions through phone call to receive payments. Executive
Orders were issued and the Facilitation Centre “JAANKARI” was
designated and authorised to receive phone calls from public at the pre
arranged premium rate i.e. a call costing Rs. 10/per call (rupees ten per
call) to take care of the prescribed application fee and generate RTI
application on behalf of the caller. Arrangements were made by Beltron to
have PRI E-I lines of BSNL dial (15311) terminated at the Facilitation
Centre. Besides premium rate call number, another five digit number dial
(155310) for help line on normal tariff was also made available for general
enquiry on RTI and application status etc. Both these numbers have been
widely publicized for public knowledge and consumption.
Normally BSNL provides Premium Rate Service through its IN
Platform using 12 digit no. with access code 1867 xxxx xxxx. Premium Rate
Services are normally accessible only to STD subscribers. To make the RTI
Facilitation Centre facility accessible to every citizen of Bihar from all
telephones, special 6 digit code of level 1 i.e. Dial 155311 has been allotted
by the Department of Communication, Government of India. A special
14
mechanism was evolved for extending the premium rate services without
involving IN Platform. Premium Rate charge was generated by the Local/
TAX exchange itself. Of course this required a huge effort in opening of the
"RTI Call Centre Code" in all the main exchanges of Bihar.
In the present technical arrangement the RTI Facilitation Centre Code
Dial 155311 (and also the RTI enquiry code dial 155310) has been routed to
Patna Tandem Exchange. From Patna Tandem Exchange all Calls originated
through out Bihar, are routed to EWSD local exchange, Patna from where a
PRI (Premium Rate Interface) line has been terminated in RTI Facilitation
Centre EPABX, located at BISCOMAUN Tower.
Charging of Calls are done as below :
(i) RTI application filing dial number (RTN) 155311 – 10 pulses from
One India Subscriber, 8 pulses (Rs.9.60) from Non-India One
Subscriber being charged immediately after the answer of Facilitation
centre agent. This initial charge is valid for 5 minutes duration after
which subscribers is charged @ 60 second pulse rate.
(ii) RTI helpline/enquiry dial number (RHN) 155310 – Normal
Facilitation Charges.
For all the RTI application filing Calls CDRs (Call Detail Records)
for code dial 155311 are being generated at EWSD exchange Patna.
The Facilitation Centre executives were trained and sensitized. They
were to receive calls and covert the voice demands into "electronic format",
compatible with RTI, Act. Since issues involved varied with each request
and it was difficult to pinpoint the exact PIOs dealing with the issue, One
senior administrative officer was made available to Facilitation centre to
help in co-ordinating with PIOs and departmental heads. The official was
well versed with the governmental system and its "Rules of executive
Business" which assigns specific work to a department and also mentions its
delegated powers. This is the first and unique experiment aimed at RTI
empowerment of people.
The fully equipped Facilitation Centre for RTI was pre tested first and
then inaugurated by the Hon’ able Chief Minister on 29th January 2007 The
Facilitation Centre is operational since then on all working days.
15
2.4 Procedures for filing “Request for Information”:
• The Government after realizing a Facilitation Centre, advertised two phone
numbers to the public. One of the numbers is RTI Help-line Number (RHN)
and the other number is RTI Application Number (RAN).
• RHN is an ordinary number with hunting line facility with normal Call
charges. If any citizen wants to get any help about how to use RTI, he can
use this number.
• When a person calls up RAN, he is asked to give his name, address, what
information does he want and from which department does he want that
information. This conversation is voice recorded and also typed on computer
simultaneously by the Facilitation Centre executive receiving the call
request.
• If the citizen does not know the department concerned, then the Facilitation
Centre staff will help him identity it. But in some rare cases, even the
Facilitation Centre staff would not know about the exact department. To deal
with such cases, the Government has assigned a government official to
oversee the operation-centre. The official knows the functioning of each
department and the relevant issues connected with it. So, he can supervise
the operations at the centre and can facilitate in ascertaining the correct
PIO/APIOS.
• Many ordinary citizens may not even know what types of information to ask
for. They would just know their problems. Facilitation Centre staff would be
trained to help and deal with such cases. A good amount of handholding is
required to help the not-so-literate people. A patient, effective conversation
with a caller results in generation of one application.
• Once an RTI application has thus been filled the Facilitation center (FC) will
confirm its contents with the caller again & than take two copies of it and
send the first copy to the applicant. Each of these generated applications
will have a unique reference number, which will be assigned by the
computer S/W, itself . This reference number can be quoted on the helpline
to ask for the application's content (with proper mechanism to respect one's
privacy and address the security issues).
16
• The Second copy will be sent to the concerned PIO by one of the following
methods :
_ If the PIO has access to e-mail, it will be sent through e-mail. This is
the quickest and cheapest way to transmit application.
_ If he does not have access to e-mail, the application will be faxed to
him.
_ If the neither has access to e-mail nor to the fax, it will be sent to him
by post.
• The PIO will have 35 days (from the date of receipt of application in CC) to
provide information. During this period, the PIO should prepare information
and send it to the applicant directly.
• The Facilitation Centre will have provisions to remind the PIO on 34th day,
as delay in reply without adequate reasons may invite penal action from the
appellate authority or the information commission.
• If applicant has not received the information or is not satisfied with the
information received, he can call up the Facilitation Centre again and
express his dissatisfaction after telling his reference no.
• His dissatisfaction will be voice recorded and typed. This will become his
first appeal, which would be forwarded to the first appellate authority in the
same manner as the RTI application was done in the first place, with a
reference number.
• The first appellate authority will deal with the appeal as he normally does.
The results will be communicated to the applicant directly.
• If the applicant is not satisfied with the first appellate order, he can similarly
file his second, appeal. This will be submitted to State Information
Commission.
• Both first and second appeal will have the requisite charges of RAN i.e, Rs.
10/per Facilitation. Suitable amendments were made in the Rule by the state
government to make similar fee for 1st and 2nd appeal.
17
2.5 Training/Sensitization Programmes for Stakeholders
Special arrangements were made to train the Facilitation Centre executives
and concerned PIOs to acquaint them with issues of the "JAANKARI"
Project at Bihar Institute for Public Administration & Rural Development,
(BIPARD), Patna BIPARD has the mandate to train and sensitize officials
of various departments with different seniority) on RTI issues. Details are
also enumerated at Annexure- V.

CHAPTER – 3
Present Status of “JAANKARI” Project
"JAANKARI" Project under RTI, can be construed as an e-
governance investment. The Government must regularly monitor, evaluate
and do mid-course adjustments of its programmes, so that the desired
objectives are achieved. E-Governance investments must engender enough
rewards in terms of positive enfranchisement of the traditionally
disadvantaged groups for continued Government support for such projects.
The calculation of rewards in such a case is subjective and hence, very
difficult. One possible way to calculate it can be the Benchmarking, which
may include both quantitative as well as qualitative measures. Some of the
possible measures are - reduction in average time for processing citizen
requests or applications; reduction in number of complaints about the level
and quality of government services; increased registration and / or turnout;
in government services increased citizen participation in local government or
elections; lower costs to government in delivering services and increased
revenue.
The “JAANKARI” Facilitation Centre” Communication network was
established in consultation with B.S.N.L., the largest telecom service
provider in the country. Presently, its service is operationalised in the entire
state of Bihar comprising of 19 telecom districts with 1162 exchanges. More
than 10.62 lakh telephone subscribers are covered within the purview of this
Project. A Total of 38475 villages with 85 million population of Bihar have
benefited from this facilitation project.(Details at Annexure-II)
On request from the Government of Bihar, Ministry of
Communication & IT Government of India allotted level 155310 & 155311
for RTI Facilitation Centre Helpline & RTI application filing respectively
vide letter No. 16-3/2003-BSII (Vol-11) dated 25.02.07 with unrestricted
accessibility. The centre became operational on 29-01-07, and is functioning
on all working days during office hours. 30 Callers can be heard and assisted
on RAN line at a time. RHN live is effectively being manned for rendering
all assistance on RTI matters.
19
Between 29-01-07 and 15-03-07 i.e., 34 working days, 1292 Calls
were received by "JAANKARI", out of which 494 voice Calls resulted in
creation of as many applications under RTI, Act (Details are given at
Annexure-III). Mostly the queries pertained to Public Information Officers
(PIO) of department of Human Resource Development, Home, Personnel &
Administrative Reforms, Urban development and Revenue & Land Reforms
(Details at Annexure-IV). In 17 cases, applications were generated as first
appeal and sent to the concerned appellate authorities.

CHAPTER - 4
Socio-economic Benefits of “JAANKARI "Project
4.1 WIN- WIN SITUATION
India is a democratic republic. People are masters and they elect
popular government, accountable to the masses. The government while
executing any project like "JAANKARI" should create measurable goals
during planning stage and them review these benchmarks to ensure that
people are getting the intended benefits. People use right to information to
obtain details of the works carried out by a Government Department or the
manner in which the money was spent by that Department. The information
contained in these records can then be compared with the field situations.
While a positive correlation boosts people's confidence in its elected
government, a wide variation may be sufficient indication of presence of
"malaise" in the System.
It is for the first time that a Facilitation Centre has been established to
benefit the citizens of the state under the provisions of Right to Information.
This is a unique experiment, first of its kind in India and is aimed at
“information empowerment” of the people. Various technology issues and
RTI knowledge base issues are continuously being handled to ensure quality
and coverage.
For RTI, the normal practice followed by governments are
cumbersome in the sense that the application has to be filed in prescribed
Form A. Many of the citizens are illiterate and are not able to make use of
RTI. Hence, to overcome the digital divide and illiteracy incapabilities, the
Government of Bihar has utilized the most usual of all communication i.e.
voice communication over phone line. The advantage of the voice
communication is that phone facilities are present in almost each of the
38475 odd revenue village and available to a large population. Ease of
communication is the key to this project’s success.
As explained earlier, now all the relevant information is a phone call
away thus, enabling the citizens to get access to information under the
control of public authorities. By doing this, the Government is fulfilling the
objective of promoting transparency and accountability in the working of
every public authority. It is also containing corruption and holding
governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the masses.
21
This innovate use of RTI Act will also promote e-governance by
disseminating useful information among the masses, especially the
disadvantaged sections.
The concept of e-government initiatives is essentially citizen-centric
and it largely depends upon how many citizens get involved in it, and for
that purpose the efforts to foster civic engagements are crucial.
The citizen is at the core of the concept of e-governance, which is
directed inter alia, at improving the life of the masses by cutting cost and
bringing in efficiency in governance. Policy-makers must keep the citizen
centric vision while designing governance systems. Policy designers should
endeavor to encourage stakeholders both government and non-government
to interact and come to with a shared vision of e-governance and its goals.
And once this shared vision has been clearly defined and crystallized, the
leaders must step in and communicate it not only to the masses but also to
the implementing agents.
The facilitation Centre approach seeks to address all the above issues.
In brief “JAANKARI” Facilitation Centre” Project is a win-win situation to
citizens, government and BSNL.
The advantages can be enumerated as follows :
4.2 Advantages to Citizens :
1. Sitting at home-Power of information is just a phone call away. Project
application was designed after wide consultations. Citizen is the focus of the
initiative,
2. No hassles of physical movement to PIO Office for filing RTI application,
3. Money saved by way of travel time/lost as well as for making drafts/Postal
order from Bank and Post offices,
4. Government bears the cost of the Facilitation Centre, cost of transmitting the
application to the concerned PIOs as well as substantial cost on providing
the premium call service,
5. The Project keeps in mind differences in local culture when seeking to
engage citizens,
22
6. Even writing the application is done by Facilitation Centre executive,
7. Citizen's handicap arising out of linguistic variations can also be overcome
by the Facilitation Centre executives, who would screen and do the
necessary handholding,
8. No need to know the dynamic “Rules of Executive Business” of the
government i.e. which issue is to be referred to which department.
4.3 Advantage to Government :
1. Empowerment of common man, resulting in better compliance,
2. Unique application of a combination of state of the art communication
technologies for providing facilitation to citizen,
3. Man-hour saving for collection of RTI application in individual Departments
by Centralizing it at The Facilitation Centre,
4. "JAANKARI"-first device of its kind in the country, announces the positive
intentions of the government loud and clear,
5. Introduces transparency in government,
6. Creates peer pressure and enabling environment for the government's
delivery system,
7. Project data analysis also indicates area of improvement as well as sectors
demanding state intervention.
4.4 Advantage to BSNL :
1. Opportunity to exploit technology for public facilitation and empowerment,
2. Additional source of Revenue in terms of revenue sharing,
3. Additional popularity among public.
4.5 Recommendations for future:
Based on the experience gathered till date, it would be desirable to make the
project self sustaining. Some of the recommendations are as follows:
1. Increase e-governance in all departments as back-end system, so that e-
interface between all the stakeholders is established at lower costs ,
23
2. Its potential to act as "one-stop shop" for many government services would
be an added attraction for enhanced delivery systems,
3. Set performance criteria and measure progress i.e., beyond its current
mandate,
4. Continue wide consultation to upgrade the technology application, possibly
to address "complaints and demands” of the disadvantaged sections of the
society,
5. Incentives be given to private sector entrepreneurs to build and sustain
access points in rural Bihar, which is also a demand driven phenomenon.
