Bhubaneswar Municipal Corp.'s website honoured for e-services

ODISHA, INDIA: After Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation's (BMC) website -www.bmc.gov.in got a makeover in March 2011, it has now been selected for Janaagraha Urban G2C (government-to-citizen) Awards.

The website was launched long time back but BMC had engaged CSM Technologies Private Limited to redevelop the website, reports Debabrata Mohapatra of the Times of India.

The Janaagraha Urban G2C Awards, whose jury will be headed by Sam Pitroda, has shortlisted 28 domestic and seven international cities.

''Website is the face of any organization. We have added a host of citizen-centric features, online services and grievance addressal mechanism on the website," said Siddharth Pujari, principal consultant of IT-PMU, BMC's information technology project management unit.

The selection was based on parameters like transparency and accountability, online services, citizen voice, user experience and website outcomes.
