5. MsDP (Multi-sectoral Development Programme):

n order to ensure that the benefits of schemes and programmes of Government reach the relatively disadvantaged segments of society, it was decided to identify districts on the basis of Minority population of Census 2001 and backwardness parameters.

The position of Gajapati district in terms of “backwardness“ was evaluated against the two sets of socio-economic and basic amenities indicators. Gajapati is the only district identified in Odisha identified as the Minority Concentration District (MCD) under MsDP (Multi-sectorial Development Programme) under the Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India, which is relatively backward and falling behind the national average in terms of socio-economic and basic amenities indicators and classified in category ‘A’. NIC, Gajapati assisted Project Administrator of Integrated Tribal Development Agency, Paralakhemundi in identifying site for installation of MSDP Computer Hardware. Necessary training imparted from time to time to ITDA staff on MsDP online application software. We are extending the technical support as and when required by P.A, ITDA and his staff.

The e-fund management system (e-FMS) in Gajapati has launched on 29

th June 2012 to

speed up payment of wages to workers employed under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).

Through e-FMS, wages electronically credited directly to the beneficiaries' bank accounts a day after the transaction, doing away with the erstwhile time-consuming payment system.

The use of information technology also rules out role of middlemen. Earlier, there were complaints of delay in wage payment and middlemen eating into labourers' share. The introduction of e-FMS reduced delay in payment and eliminated middlemen menace.
