CURRENT SCENARIO BETWEEN GOVERNMENT & CITIZEN

Current Scenario between Government & Citizen

PROBLEMS

Very limited technology used in enabling above interaction on the part of

the Government

Information spread across 500+ Govt. websites and multiple offline

sources and local language support, non-friendly interface, etc.

Low citizen awareness leading to even lower benefit access leading to

hundreds of underutilized schemes / programs

Process complexity etc.

All in all, lack of Citizens’ “pull” causing complacency in Govt. reach out

1. DATA VALIDATION: Data Validation is the process of ensuring that a

programme operates on correct and useful data. Data validation ensure

checking for correctness, meaningfulness and security of data that are input

to the system. Data validation checks that data are valid, sensible, secure,

and reasonable before they are processed and also check the errors like

flow / logical errors.

IMPORTANCE OF DATA VALIDATION

Incorrect data validation can lead to data corruption or security

exposure.

Meaningless, incorrect data give wrong output in analysis.

Data validation helpful in minimizing the data cleaning process.

2. DATA VERIFICATION: Data Verification is the process of ensuring

that the data collected from the right source or location from where we

really need and check the listed schemes are really correct or not. It makes

data correction which is misunderstood by the time of data listing and helps

to resolve the errors.

MID-COURSE CORRECTION

PHASE 1 - DATABASE CREATION: -

In this phase we were surfing on internet for various schemes and listing it after

analyze the scheme form various government and Non-government websites.

That listed file than checked by superior. While checking that file they found

some basic problems like grammatically errors and also some missing content so

they give it back to us to resolve those errors.

In the initial period frequency of errors was quite more but then after day by day

with having concentrated mind and because of practice it is minimized in such a

way that they just checked and make it confirm instantly.

PHASE 2 - DATA VALIDATION: -

In this phase the work done in 1st phase by individual is altered with colleagues

so that cross check can be done by this missing content and schemes can be find

out easily.

It is found that some work debate origin in this phase due to having some pointing

out errors but it was obvious and thus we could realize that is actual errors in

some case and make it correct at that time.

FINAL REPORT 14

PHASE 3 - DATA CLEANING AND COMPILING

In this phase there was maximum work concentration required because it was the

period when all work assembled and cleaning process took place on that. Thus

we found that though after giving 100% work efficiency we couldn’t found

accuracy required by superior and always superior give that work back to us for

doing again.

But having very good coordination among team and having good team effort we

make it possible. So, finally we made whole product ready in the last week of our

internship.

2016 has been a good learning experience for me. During this period, I came

across a number of good people, in network who helped me and also knowledge

sharing with them would be treasure for me.

Exposure to corporate sector during my internship had helped me to understand

the art of balancing the task and time. So that I could manage with target and

mind stress during my internship.

Experience in a corporate sector, is a good exposure about what really the

corporate life is about. The person who can manage these target and stress can

survive in these corporate world. The only thing required in corporate world is

the right attitude or a positive attitude towards attaining one’s goal.
