WRD "DRISHTI" (WRD Dedicated Reporting Information System To Handle And Track Inspection) mobile app is applicable from February 28, 2022. Through this app, necessary information related to obstacles in the implementation of field engineering schemes, availability of machines and manpower, etc. is sent to the headquarters in real time.
In order to inspect any scheme at the work site, the updated status is uploaded on the mobile app at the following points:-
● Availability of machines and manpower
● Approval of design and draft and status of making it available to the contractor
● Status of quality and specific investigation report
● Opinion of the inspection officer regarding the progress of the work
● Situation of factors hindering the progress of work
● Geo-tagged photographs etc. of the work site.
Every time the regional engineers inspect the related schemes, the report related to the information gets maintained in the app date wise. Whenever the concerned Chief Engineer, Superintending Engineer, departmental senior officer and monitor inspect that scheme through the app, they can see all the other inspection reports done earlier in the app.
WRD "DRISHTI" app has enabled transparency in the implementation of departmental work and better and effective monitoring of the progress of all schemes from the headquarters. Also, if there is any obstacle in any work, then immediate action is possible from the headquarters level to resolve it. Thus, efficient monitoring of schemes by the Headquarters has become possible through the WRD "DRISHTI" mobile app. This mobile app was launched in February 2022, in which approximately two lakh inspections of schemes and work sites have been conducted in the financial year 2023-24.
