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.

All residents should start filing RTI, it seems

I think most of the residents right now have to go RTI way only.
Even in my area, kasavanhalli road is untarred for so long, and after following up with Mr Mayor on FB, he says that work order granted, funds granted, but he is suggesting to talk to my MLA to get further info on this.
I am not sure why I need to talk to MLA for road building anywhere.
And if the orders are issued, then MLA nowhere is involved here, just the corporator and Engineers are to be contacted.

Result not encouraging.

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?

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.
gut-less govt cannot control BBMP?

" Residents’ Welfare Association, Kallahalli, were shocked when they learnt that the road-laying work worth Rs 20 lakh (Rs 19.99 lakh to be precise) was sanctioned for their area in September 2011. "

This has been the case since ages, people need to raise individual RTI's to get information on their wards where the responsible people just get away richer..all that BBMP does is put brakes on all transparency initiatives like the ones in this post or set fire to evidence.
BBMP has turned into a cash cow for the politicians across all parties..hence no one including the ruling party wants to do anything about it.
Its high time someone puts a stop to this henious practice..is Siddu CM upto it?!
