Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike's Global Project Management System (GPMS) has been developed by the Indian Centre for Social Transformation along with Karnataka State Police Housing Corporation. It is a professional tool to manage projects on-line from conception to completion. The progress of the project is tracked by all stakeholders who work collaboratively to ensure successful completion of the project. The system has the following components available:

  • On-line Global Project Management System (GPMS)
  • Remote Eye Monitoring System (REMS)
  • Intelligence Report Generation System (IRGS)


This e-governance initiative enables real-time monitoring and management of BBMP's 33,737+ works, which are going on in various parts of the City. If someone wants to monitor any particular project being executed by BBMP, with respect to its timely completion, cost effectiveness or quality, they can follow the progress of the work by selecting the project and putting the same on their watch list. As progress gets uploaded on BBMP's website, they will get alerts and the public can also upload photographs and feedback to ensure that the work proceeds in the desired direction.

Advantages of using Web-Based Global Project Management System (BBMP-GPMS)

  • The goal is to use technology-aided tools to enable efficiency and transparency and bring about accountability in all e-governance services.
  • To provide total transparency in all the civic functions of BBMP.
  • Empower citizens by providing them accurate ready-to-view real-time information on-line.
  • Provide a single-point database for all citizen services and matters.
  • Enable access to central repository to all citizen data through cloud services.
  • Bring about constant improvement in e-governance services through continuous public feedback.


Now BBMP has provided this portal for public to register complaints, view projects, provide additional information, suggestions of their interest and update delays or inconvenience caused through this BBMP-GPMS on-line portal.

holds promise?

The whole thing looks very fancy, and is promising a lot. But, the organisations involved do not exactly inspire my confidence, from what little I know of them (hope I am wrong). And, you are dealing with BBMP, an organisation where systems are designed to fail, in order to serve various vested interests. Well, whatever, if it can take us one step beyond this, may be something would have been achieved.

Would have liked to attend to know more - but, since I am committed to another programme same time, I'll not be able to make it.

@ Deepak  -  No registration required. You can walk in.

ICST Experiance

Indian Center for Social Transformation is a public charitable trust. It provides services that are scalable secure and efficient while improving overall service and reducing cost. This is what the entry page title declares. The BBMP soft ware looks to be provided by this organization namely ICST

I tried to register as a user of their web site. It was a horrible experience to say the least. Spent half an hour but could not succeed in registering on to their cloud computing system. I think my registration for the general use went through.

To illustrate my experience :-

I had to keep clicking 68 times to give my Date of birth. I had to use the calendar starting with 2011 and travel till 1942. My god what un innovation!!!!

Still I have hopes and will attend.

Article 74th amendment

Kathyaini Chamraj of CIVIC was the organizer of the meeting at central college held on Saturday the 18th June 2011. This one was on a presentation to the new addition to BBMP’s official web site “Web based Global Project Management System”.

Thank you madam for bringing up the update on article 74th amendment, and its relevance to the three tier Democratic set up of our country, during the seminar.  [1]

It was an eye opener for me. It is surprising that very few Corporaters have set up functioning ward committees. I remember to have attended a ward committee meeting of HAL II stage last year. SNS Murthy a former Bangalore Police Commissioner was an active participant of the committee from their residents association. I have to find out about our ward 54.

Good to see such technology enabled stuff coming from BBMP

Its really nice to see such steps from BBMP which can help common man to track BBMP progress on the various projects ongoing in the city.

In general, I really have a lot of concerns about BBMP about the way they have been operating, because every other authority blaming BBMP for not providing what it  should, this is the right way/step towards citizens getting the report online and can make the work done in right order and priorities.

My present concerns on a few of BBMP works are -

(1) Status of removing of the tar/asphalt from the base of the trees all across the bangalore. (Mr Comm has ordered of this action during march end).

(2) What about new development work, be it road-widening, or footpath construction or roads rebuilt, are trees saved from choking their roots/base?

(3) Proper parking space at many places like Madiwala market etc?

(4) Cutting of trees and status of the new saplings plantation?

These way, there are many and many issues cropping up many of our minds while we visit the city at different times.

@Murali Sir,

Do we need to call the number mentioned in the post to register the attendence?
