Issues & Challenges
• There are number of Issues to be addressed at inception of the Project, major being-
• Capacity Building:
• One of the challenges faced in the introduction and adoption of most e Governance initiatives is the lack of trained IT manpower in the public sector to implement and support such an initiative. This concern is often expressed by clients even after demonstrating several example of successful implementations.
• To address this concern, MPOnline offers a BOOT model, where we provide full infrastructure and manpower support for the design, implementation and support needs of the client. This is complemented by conducting training and handholding sessions where we build the in-house capacity of the personnel of the client department
• Building Trust:
• The comfort and security in the minds of citizens and department officials often erodes when a non-government agency is the sole stakeholder and implementer of an e-governance initiative. We address this by involving the government stakeholders of MPOnline right from requirement gathering, rate fixing, implementation and up to the monitoring stages of the services we offer to a department.
Disaster Recovery - Benefits
Any Disaster and disruption of services have a substantial impact on the organizations creditability and reputation. Disaster Recovery site will help address these challenges.
•There are many mission critical and citizen centric services running on portal. Any discontinuation of the same will lead to loss of business financially as well as will a dent organizations credibility
•Provides with a back-up of information and documents if the original is destroyed.
•The operations will be functional from DR site in case of total loss of Data center. It will ensure minimum downtime.
•In case of any disaster, the traffic will automatically be shifted to the Disaster recovery site. This is an automated process, requiring no human intervention.
•The solution also compromises of backup solution. A dedicated backup device will be installed both at the Data center and Disaster recovery. There is also a provision of offsite backup sets.
Disaster Recovery - Benefits
• The failover equipments can be configured on component level as well. That
is, in case the database server goes down, the traffic (of the whole site) can
be shifted to the Disaster recovery site.
• The requirement of DR site even becomes more critical with the fact that
the services hosted in data center are citizen centric and crucial services.
Some are mentioned below:
MPBSE, DTE Counseling, VYAPAM, Open School, MPPSC, University (Makhanlal,
Bhoj, Devi Ahilya, RGTU), BED, School Examination Board, MPEB Bills
collection, Premium collections, Forest Reservation etc. etc

servers for performing key functions.

Physical Specifications & Infrastructure
• The MPOnline Kiosks can only be formed in the Urban areas of MP. An Online Registration Form available on the MPO Portal has to be filled and dispatched along with Photos of the outlet covering the computer setup.
• Minimum requirement is a Computer, Printer, Scanner, Camera and Internet Connection.
• In a Commercial location, the distance between 2 kiosks should be at least 500 metres while in a residential location the minimum distance should be at least 1km. Although at a location with high number of footfalls this distance can even be reduced to 250 metres which only an authorised MPOnline official can decide.
• The outlet is then surveyed by authorised persons of MPOnline and then only a decision to allot a kiosk is taken.
• At the time of signing of agreement a Registration fee is payable to MPOnline.• The agreement has to be renewed annually. If the kiosk owner has not been
