ABSTRACT

PROJECT TITLE: Web based MIS on RVE programme

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Remote Village Electrification Programme of the Ministry of New and Renewable energy (MNRE) was initiated in the year 2001 for providing basic lighting facilities in the unelectrified census villages, without reference to the fact whether the villages in question were likely to receive grid connectivity or not was provided. The scheme was subsequently revised to cover only unelectrified census villages, which were not likely to be electrified through grid extension. A total of 2071 unelectrified census villages and 830 hamlets of electrified villages have so far been provided with the basic electricity facilities during the 10 th plan in different parts of the country. Since the inception of the programme, 2051 census villages and 830 hamlets have been electrified.

Accurate and accessible information is a requirement for the project success and project management. The information technology available for the collection, retrieval and distribution of project information are steadily advancing. Information technology has created a unique opportunity, collaboration and accessibility of information throughout the corporate environment.

Remote village electrification system includes complete information about remote village i.e. the village where grid connectivity may not be feasible but the electricity may be provided through the program offered, Resources detail that can be used for implementation of the system, and complete information of all the users and the persons involved in maintaining the system.

The project consists of four components -

Addition of information about the state, district, village covered. Retrieval of all the stored information Edition of existing information. Report generation

Report generation includes some expected and frequently asked queries.For example-

1.2 ABOUT MNRE

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is the nodal Ministry of the Government of India for all matters relating to new and renewable energy. The broad aim of the Ministry is to develop and deploy new and renewable energy for supplementing the energy requirements of the country.

The role of new and renewable energy has been assuming increasing significance in recent times with the growing concern for the country’s energy security. Energy ‘self-sufficiency’ was identified as the major driver for new and renewable energy in the country in the wake of the two oil shocks of the 1970s. The sudden increase in the price of oil, uncertainties associated with its supply and the adverse impact on the balance of payments position led to the establishment of the Commission for Additional Sources of Energy in the Department of Science & Technology in March 1981. The Commission was charged with the responsibility of formulating policies and their implementation, programmes for development of new and renewable energy apart from coordinating and intensifying R&D in the sector. In 1982, a new department, i.e., Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources (DNES), that incorporated CASE, was created in the then Ministry of Energy. In 1992, DNES became the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources. In October 2006, the Ministry was re-christened as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

While apprehensions about supply and price of oil and their impact on the economy were recognized as the key issues, the broad areas assigned to the Commission, which include solar, wind, biomass and other new sources, tended more towards replacement of coal rather than oil. Accordingly, deployment achievements of MNRE so far in renewable energy have done more for replacement of coal than oil.

Even so, these achievements have been worthwhile considering that the country today is an importer of coal. Projections made in the Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) reveal that to achieve its development goals, the country would need to rely increasingly on imported oil, gas and coal in the medium-term (2032).

In this backdrop, the role of new and renewable energy assumes added significance, whether it replaces coal or oil. In this regard, IEPR recognizes ‘the need to maximally develop domestic supply options as well as the need to diversify energy sources ...’ although renewables are likely to account for only around 5-6 per cent of the primary commercial energy-mix by 2032. It is an imperative of the development process that this energy in the longer term will substantially increase its share in the fuel-mix.

8

Increasing the share of new and renewable energy in the fuel-mix is in the country’s long-term interest. Although, the development process may warrant selection of least-cost energy options, strategic and environmental concerns may, on the other hand, demand a greater share for new and renewable energy even though this option might appear somewhat costlier in the medium-term.

The Ministry has been facilitating the implementation of broad-spectrum programmes covering more or less the entire range of new and renewable energy. These programmes broadly seek to supplement conventional fossil-fuel-based power through harnessing wind, small hydro and bio power; reach renewable energy to remote rural areas for lighting, cooking and motive power; use renewable energy in urban, industrial and commercial applications; and develop alternate fuels and applications for stationary, portable and transport uses apart from supporting research, design and development of new and renewable energy technologies, products and services.

To develop new and renewable energy technologies, processes, materials, components, sub-systems, products & services at par with international specifications, standards and performance parameters in order to make the country a net foreign exchange earner in the sector and deploy such indigenously developed and/or manufactured products and services in furtherance of the national goal of energy security.

MISSION

The Mission of the Ministry is to ensure

Energy Security: Lesser dependence on oil imports through development and deployment of alternate fuels (hydrogen, bio-fuels and synthetic fuels) and their applications to contribute towards bridging the gap between domestic oil supply and demand;

Increase in the share of clean power: Renewable (bio, wind, hydro, solar, geothermal & tidal) electricity to supplement fossil fuel based electricity generation;

Energy Availability and Access: Supplement energy needs of cooking, heating, motive power and captive generation in rural, urban, industrial and commercial sectors;

Energy Affordability: Cost-competitive, convenient, safe, and reliable new and renewable energy supply options; and

Energy Equity: Per-capita energy consumption at par with the global average level by 2050, through a sustainable and diverse fuel- mix.

9

ROLE

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 WEB BASED MIS ON REMOTE VILLAGE ELECTRIFICATION (RVE) PROGRAMME

Remote Village Electrification Programme of the Ministry of New and Renewable energy(MNRE) was initiated in the year 2001 for providing basic lighting facilities in the unelectrified census villages, without reference to the fact whether the villages in question were likely to receive grid connectivity or not was provided. The scheme was subsequently revised to cover only unelectrified census villages, which were not likely to be electrified through grid extension. A total of 2071 unelectrified census villages and 830 hamlets of electrified villages have so far been provided with the basic electricity facilities during the 10th plan in different parts of the country. Since the inception of the programme, 2051 census villages and 830 hamlets have been electrified.

The Ministry provides a subsidy of up to 90% of the costs of installation of various renewable energy devices/system subject to pre-specified maximum amounts. This is apart from many other promotional supports to the state implementing agencies. An attractive service charge of Rs. 50,000/- per village is also provided to the implementing agencies to enable them to prepare DPRs, monitor, and the projects and to avoid technical back up.

Initially, a majority of remote villages taken up for electrification under the programme were provided with SPV home lighting systems, suitable for 1-4 lights. From 2004-05 onwards, the Ministry’s support was limited to model II and I only, wherever SPV home lighting systems are deployed. A few villages have also been electrified with distributed SPV power plants, biomass gasification systems and small hydro systems.

Definition of Village electrification

A village is considered to be electrified if:i. Basic infrastructure (such as distribution lines, etc) exists in the inhabited

locality as well as in a minimum of 1 dalit basti/hamlet where it exists.ii. Electricity is provided to public places like school, panchayat office, health

centre etc. iii. The number of households electrified is at least 10 % of the total no. of

households in the village.

The definition adopted by MNRE is same as that of Ministry of Power. The National Electricity Policy - 2005 has laid down that electrification efforts should be aimed at achieving a life line consumption of 1 unit / household /day by 2012. The electrification projects of MNRE should also be designed for this capacity provided it does not become absolutely unfeasible (e.g., due to small number of households, etc.).

16

Rural Electrification Policy has specified that “for villages/habitations where grid connectivity would not be feasible or not cost effective, off-grid solutions based on stand alone systems may be taken up for supply of electricity. Where these also are not feasible and if only alternative are to use isolated lighting technologies like SPV these may be adopted. However, such remote villages may not be designated as electrified”.

What is the basis for division of work between Ministry of Power’s Rajiv Gandhi Vidyutikaran Yojana and MNRE’s Programme?

It has been estimated that there are around 1, 25,000 unelectrified villages in the country. Many of these are considered to be remote where grid connectivity may not be feasible. These villages will be electrified under MNRE’s Remote Village Electrification Programme through non-conventional energy sources. The actual number of such villages, which was earlier tentatively estimated at around 25000, is being verified by the REC. It has also been decided now that apart from census-unelectrified villages, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s RVE Programme will also cover remote unelectrified hamlets of electrified villages, which are again verified by REC.

The criteria for Remoteness:-

The villages/hamlets in which grid connectivity is either not feasible or not cost effective are termed remote. A single point responsibility for identification of these has been entrusted to the Rural Electrification Corporation, which is also the apex-implementing agency for Ministry of Power’s Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana.

How many Remote Villages have been identified in various States?

State-wise details of remote villages identified by REC are given in Table-1.

Non-Conventional Energy Technologies for Electrification of Villages

The main technological options available for the electrification of remote villages using non-conventional energy sources are: -

Small hydro power plants. Biomass gasification systems in conjunction with 100% producer gas

engines or with dual-fuel engines using non-edible vegetable oils. Non-edible vegetable oil based engines. Biogas engines Solar photovoltaic power plants. SPV Home lighting Systems

A majority of remote census villages taken up for electrification under the program are provided with SPV home lighting systems (about 95%). While, before 2004-05, support was being provided for SPV home lighting systems of up to 4 lights each, after 2005 it has been restricted to systems of 2 lights each. BPL households are provided single light systems with 100% subsidy. The solar home lighting systems for two lights are designed to provide around 0.1 kWh of energy per day and cost Rs.14000-15000 per system per household.

The Ministry also aims to provide grid quality electricity in all the villages taken up by it for electrification through non-conventional energy sources. However, since the actual programme implementation is being carried out through state governments, the Ministry has to accept the proposals for use of a particular technology, as submitted by the state implementing agencies.

18

How will the long term sustainability of the non-conventional energy based electrification systems be ensured? Or, what are the repair and maintenance facilities for these systems in remote areas:-

One of the conditions of MNRE support is that there will be a mandatory annual maintenance contract of a minimum 5 years duration, the cost of which is accounted in the subsidy. The suppliers are also required to train local persons in operation and maintenance of the systems. A set of suggestions for ensuring long term sustainability of SPV home lighting systems has also been issued to the state implementing agencies which many of them have agreed to follow.

How is Remote Village Electrification project sanctioned?

A certificate from the Rural Electrification Corporation, which is also the nodal agency for implementation of the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana, to the effect that grid connectivity is either not feasible or not cost effective, is a pre-requisite for consideration of proposals under the Ministry’s Programme. Ministry refers the lists of remote villages identified by state governments, which they propose to take up for electrification through non-conventional energy sources to REC for confirmation on this aspect. Subsequently, after identification of remoteness of villages by REC, states are advised to submit proposals for support to the Ministry as per the provisions of the scheme. Approvals of the competent authority in the state for submitting the proposals are also required before sanction. Explicit willingness of villagers that the systems being proposed are acceptable to them is also desirable.

(a) MoU with the State Governments

From the current year, the Ministry has proposed signing of a MoU with the state governments who wish to take advantage of the support available under the RVE Programme. The MoU spells out in clear terms the roles and responsibilities of the Central as well as the state governments. Preference will be given to those states in sanction of support that have signed the MoU.

(b) Submission of Proposals

Ideally once the village is confirmed for electrification with non-conventional energy sources by REC, a survey should be carried out to determine the availability of local resources and energy requirements on the basis of which a

19

system configuration can be planned. The proposal should, inter-alias, provide the following information:-

Census code number (2001) of the remote village or remote hamlet. Approval from the competent authority in the Energy/Power Dept. of the

state Project Report as per the Prescribed Format. Commitment for meeting the balance requirement of funds. Complete list of beneficiaries Confirmation from the competent village authority that proposed systems

are acceptable in lieu of grid Confirmation that the villages/hamlets have not been covered under any

other programme of the Ministry.

The State Agencies then submit project proposals in prescribed format to the Ministry in terms of the provisions of the Remote Village Electrification Scheme. The proposals are then examined by the Ministry to ascertain that the various requirements and terms and conditions of the scheme have been fulfilled, after which the projects are sanctioned.

What is the extent of Central Financial Assistance?

Central Financial Assistance of up to 90% subject to pre-specified maximum amounts for each of the technology areas, including the cost of Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) for 5 years is provided for approved projects for electrification of remote unelectrified census villages/hamlets. The maximum subsidy is limited to an amount of Rs.18000/- per household. The balance 10% cost of projects for remote village electrification can be financed through contribution from the state governments and beneficiaries, etc. At least the state governments out of their funds should provide half of the remaining balance.

The Village Electrification Programme of the Ministry of Power provides for free electricity connection for Below Poverty Line (BPL) households as per norms of Kutir Jyoti Programme. In the Ministry’s Programme also 100% of the cost of one light connection (in case of SPV home lighting systems, one system of model-1) will be provided for BPL households in all the villages approved for electrification through non-conventional energy sources.

The implementing agencies under the RVE Programme will undertake surveys of the remote villages for assessment of demand for electricity and availability of renewable energy resources, prepare DPRs, involve beneficiaries including their awareness and training, ensure tie-up of matching funds, implement projects and ensure the long term functionality of the projects through periodic monitoring, technical backup, etc. The Ministry will provide a one time Service Charge of

20

Rs.50, 000/village taken up for electrification through non-conventional energy devices to the implementing agencies.

What are the arrangements for operation and maintenance and sustainability of the projects?

The O&M of installed systems is the responsibility of the state governments. A set of suggestions for long term sustainability of SPV home lighting systems has been issued to the state implementing agencies. Many of them have agreed with the suggestions and assured their implementation. Further, the CFA sanctioned by the Ministry includes the cost of a 5 year Annual Maintenance Contract with the suppliers. Training of local youth in O&M, formation of village committees, collection of a minimum user charge (Rs.20 to Rs.50 per month), etc. are some of the other strategies being proposed by the Ministry.

COMPONENT ASSIGNEDDESCRIPTION

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENT ASSIGNED

The Project “Web based MIS on Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme” is the system for the information management for the Remote Village Electrification Programme of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India. I have developed the modules for entering, editing and deletion of the data and generated some of the reports.

For the sake of security, I have developed a login form as the very first page of the project which takes the username and password and next screen that will be visible to the user, depends upon the username being enterted. If it is “administrator”, a screen showing all the rights of administrator will appear and if it is any valid user other than administrator than a screen will appear that shows all the rights of any valid user or login will fail that means it is not a valid user.

The administrator has right to retrieve, add or edit all the master data like state code, district code, block code, panchayat code, village code.

The administrator can get the complete information about the resources available, complete detail of agencies, division, status codes for the village like whether the status of a particular village is not covered, completed, ongoing.

Administrator has right to enter, read and edit the code for beneficiary types, code for consumption types, code for suppliers.

On the other side, if a ordinary user has logged on, he has right to retrieve, add or edit the information about the project only like project sanction number, sanction amount, sanction date, financial year, detail of funds like central fund, state fund.

The user can retrieve, add or edit the detail of the system installed and the households that are supposed to be electrified through the system.

I have developed the data entry, updation and retrieval modules for both administrator and the ordinary user.

The reports I have generated for this project are

State wise number of villages covered. (How many villages have

been covered in a particular state e.g. Tamil Nadu.

State wise number of villages completed.

23

District wise break up of villages covered.

State/District wise break up of village’s covered/completed/ongoing.

TECHNOLOGY USED

4.1 ACTIVE SERVER PAGES

Introduction

ASP is Microsoft’s recent web server technology that makes it easier to develop database interactive web applications. It is a server side scripting language. It allows us to combine HTML with any scripting language such as VBScript and Jscript. Further it also allows us to create database applications that involve complex calculations. Active Server Pages (ASPs) are Web pages that contain server-side scripts in addition to the usual mixture of text and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) tags. Server-side scripts are special commands we put in Web pages that are processed before the pages are sent from our Personal Web Server to the Web browser of someone who's visiting our Web site. When we type a URL in the Address box or click a link on a Web page, we are asking a Web server on a computer somewhere to send a file to the Web browser (sometimes called a "client") on our computer. If that file is a normal HTML file, it looks exactly the same when our Web browser receives it as it did before the Web server sent it. After receiving the file, your Web browser displays its contents as a combination of text, images, and sounds. In the case of an Active Server Page, the process is similar, except there's an extra processing step that takes place just before the Web server sends the file. Before the Web server sends the Active Server Page to the Web browser, it runs all server-side scripts contained in the page. Some of these scripts display the current date, time, and other information. Others process information the user has just typed into a form, such as a page in the Web site's guestbook. To distinguish them from normal HTML pages, Active Server Pages are given the ".asp" extension.

What Do Active Server Pages Look Like?

The appearance of an Active Server Page depends on whom or what is viewing it. To the Web browser that receives it, an Active Server Page looks just like a normal HTML page. If a visitor to our Web site views the source code of an Active Server Page, that's what they see: a normal HTML page. However, the file located in the server looks very different. In addition to text and HTML tags, we also see server-side scripts. This is what the Active Server Page looks like to the Web server before it is processed and sent in response to a request.

26

What Do Server-Side Scripts Look Like?

Server-side scripts look a lot like HTML tags. However, instead of starting and ending with lesser-than (<) and greater-than (>) brackets, they typically start with <% and end with %>. The <% is called an opening tag, and the %> is called a closing tag. In between these tags are the server-side scripts. We can insert server-side scripts anywhere in our Web page--even inside HTML tags.

What can ASP do for us?

Dynamically edit, change or add any content of a Web page Respond to user queries or data submitted from HTML forms Access any data or databases and return the results to a browser Customize a Web page to make it more useful for individual users The advantages of using ASP instead of CGI and Perl, are those of

simplicity and speed Provide security since your ASP code can not be viewed from the browser Clever ASP programming can minimize the network traffic

Benefits of Using ASP

ASP development is easy to learn if we have knowledge of VBScript or Jscript or VB we can get full advantage of ASP. ASP allows us to write HTML and VBScript or JScript in a single file.

ASP helps in creating Web Interface to any ODBC compliant database. We can create user interface for any ODBC compliant database such as SQL Server, MS-Access.

ASP development is Compile free. Prior to ASP, development of any database interactive applications required pre-compilation of an executable file using any application development environment such as VC++. Even a slightest change to the application required re-compilation of the whole application again. But ASP provides us a very easy way to create web applications. In ASP we need not to compile the application. We just save the file with .asp extension. The ASP dll executes the file itself.

The ASP environment is extensible. It provides us various tools for developing Database Interactive Web Applications. We can also create custom control using ASP.

27

ASP Objects

Response Object

Sends text, data and cookies to the browser and control each stage of transmitting the page.

Server Object

Creates COM objects, some conversion facilities and overall scripting control. Request Object Reads submitted form data, cookies and server variables.

Session Object

Allows us to attach data to a specific user browsing your site that is isolated and invisible to other users.

Application Object

Allows you to manipulate global data in your script that will be visible to all users browsing the site or your script code.

Any web pages containing ASP cannot be run by just simply opening the page in a web browser. The page must be requested through a web server that supports ASP, this is why ASP stands for Active Server Pages, no server, no active pages.

As ASP was first introduced by Microsoft on its web server, Internet Information Services (IIS), which runs on Windows 2000 /XP Pro/NT4 it is this web server that ASP pages usually run best on.

For those of us running Windows and wish to play around with ASP on our own system we will need to install Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS). Lucky IIS or its micro version Personal Web Server (PWS) comes free with Windows.Windows users can find Internet Information Services (IIS) or Personal Web Server (PWS) in the following places: -

Windows 2000/XP Pro - IIS can be found in 'Add/Remove Programs' in the 'Control Panel'.

Windows 98 - PWS can be found under 'add-ons' on the Windows 98 CD.

Windows NT4/95 - You can get hold of IIS by downloading the NT4 Option Pack from Microsoft (don't be fooled by the name as it also runs on Windows 95).

Windows ME - IIS and PWS are not supported on this operating system.

28

Windows XP Home Edition - IIS and PWS are not supported on this operating system.

For those of us running other operating systems or web servers Sun produce a product called Chili!Soft ASP which enables ASP to be used on other web servers including, Apache, I-Planet, Zeus, Red Hat Secure Server, etc, using various operating systems including, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. You can find out more information on Sun Chilli!Soft ASP or download a trial version from, http://www.chilisoft.com/.

Here's the official word from the Microsoft site: "Active Server Pages is an open, compile-free application environment in which you can combine HTML, scripts, and reusable ActiveX server components to create dynamic and powerful Web-based business solutions. Active Server Pages enables server-side scripting for IIS with native support for both VBScript and Jscript."

4.2 INTERNET INFORMATION SERVICES

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS; formerly called Server) is a set of Internet-based services for servers using Microsoft Windows. It is the world's second most popular web server in terms of overall websites. As of February 2007 it served 31% of all websites according to Netcraft. The servers currently include FTP, SMTP, NNTP and HTTP/HTTPS.

Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is a powerful Web server that provides a highly reliable, manageable, and scalable Web application infrastructure for all versions of Windows Server 2003. IIS helps organizations increase Web site and application availability while lowering system administration costs. IIS 6.0 supports the Microsoft Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI) with automated health monitoring, process isolation, and improved management capabilities.

4.3 MICROSOFT SQL SERVER

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) produced by Microsoft. Its primary query language is Transact-SQL, an implementation of the ANSI/ISO standard Structured Query Language (SQL) used by both Microsoft and Sybase. SQL Server is commonly used by businesses for small- to medium-sized databases, but the past five years have seen greater adoption of the product for larger enterprise databases.

29

Microsoft SQL Server uses a variant of SQL called T-SQL, or Transact-SQL, an implementation of SQL-92 (the ISO standard for SQL, certified in 1992) with many extensions. T-SQL mainly adds additional syntax for use in stored procedures, and affects the syntax of transaction support. (Note that SQL standards require Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, Durable or "ACID" transactions.) Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase/ASE both communicate over networks using an application-level protocol called Tabular Data Stream (TDS). The TDS protocol has also been implemented by the FreeTDS project in order to allow more kinds of client applications to communicate with Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases. Microsoft SQL Server also supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC). The latest release SQL Server 2005 also supports the ability to deliver client connectivity via the Web Services SOAP protocol. This allows non-Windows Clients to communicate cross platform with SQL Server. Microsoft has also released a certified JDBC driver to let Java Applications like BEA and IBM WebSphere communicate with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 also features automated database mirroring, failover clustering, and database snapshots

Future Development

The next planned version of SQL Server is code-named "Katmai". Future versions of SQL Server aim to make data management self-tuning, self organizing and self maintaining with the development of SQL Server Always On technologies, to provide near-zero downtime. Microsoft also aims to intrinsically support many digital data formats, including pictures, audio, video and other multimedia data. In current versions, such multimedia data can be stored as BLOBs (binary large objects), but they are generic bitstreams. Intrinsic awareness of multimedia data will allow specialized functions to be performed on them. Better support for unstructured and semi-structured data is planned as well. According to Paul Flessner, senior Vice President, Server Applications, Microsoft Corp., the next release of SQL Server can be a data storage backend for different varieties of data: XML, email, time/calendar, file, document, spatial, etc as well as perform search, query, analysis, sharing, and synchronization across all data types.

30

4.4 VB SCRIPT

VB Script is the default scripting language of Active Server Pages. It is officially an acronym for Visual Basic Scripting Edition. It extends HTML with variables, loops, operator, conditionals, functions and subroutines.

VB Script is closely related to BASIC programming language. VB Script is a scripting language. VB Script is very important as almost all real world ASP projects are based on VB Script. Unlike Jscript, VB Script is a function-oriented language .Even though we can use many predefined objects and variables essentially, VBScript is based on Visual Basic and has little object-orientation and support. One major difference between VBScript and Jscript –they is all initialized to EMPTY, A variable cannot be employed in Jscript without being initialized first.

Like Jscript, we don’t need to declare any variable explicitly before using it. Variables in VB script can be optionally declared using the DIM declaration that’s similar to Jscript var keyword. The DIM declaration creates a variable of the visual Basic variant data type-a variant can store any number, string, literal or value.

4.5 JAVA SCRIPT

Jscript is Microsoft’s implementation of Netscape’s Java Script language .Jscript is designed to be used with Internet Explorer. Jscript can be used either as client-side or a server side programming language. Jscript is an object oriented Scripting Language.

All Jscript files need to have the <% @ SCRIPT LANGUAGE =”JSCRIPT”%> line at the start of each script if the default scripting language option is chosen as VB script. Jscript works on client and server side for both Netscape Navigator as well as MS Internet Explorer. Using Jscript we can extend HTML into something more than a page formatting language.

Jscript also finds primary use in ASP technology. However like Java Script, script is different from Java a proper programming language that is used primarily for interactive web pages components called applets.

CHAPTER – 5

SRS OF THE COMPONENT

It goes without saying that an accurate and thorough understanding of software requirement is essential to the success of a software development effort. All further development like System Analysis, System Design, and Coding will depend on how accurate and well prepared the Requirement Specification is. Poorly analyzed and specified software will disappoint the user and bring grief to the developed, no matter how well designed and well coded the software is.

5.1 REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

It is done in order to understand the problem the software system is to solve. The emphasis in requirement analysis is on identifying what is needed from the system, not how the system will achieve its goal. There are two major activities in this phase: - Problem Analysis and Requirement Specification. In problem analysis, the analyst has to understand the problem and its context. Once the problem is analyzed and the essential understood, the requirements must be specified in the requirement specification document. The requirements document must specify all functional and performance requirements, the formats of inputs and outputs and all design constraints that exist. The goal of requirement specification phase is to produce the software requirements specification document (SRS).

The Requirement Management deals with analyzing, developing, maintaining, documenting, and verifying customer requirements. The customer’s requirements need to be tracked throughout the project life cycle to ensure that the final product meets all the requirements. Requirement Outputs, such as Software Requirement Specifications or any other document may be produced.

The analyst (or a team) determines the requirements of the customer or end user. A variety of techniques may be used to study the requirements such as, interviews, evaluation of similar products or projects, discussions etc.

The requirements are analyzed to ensure that they are feasible and appropriate to implement in software, clearly stated, consistent with each other, testable, and complete. To analyze the requirements various techniques may be used e.g. Use cases, Data Flow Diagrams, functional decomposition, object-oriented decomposition, simulations, modeling, prototyping, etc. Issues affecting the requirement analysis are identified and resolved. Each of the outputs will be peer-reviewed/reviewed as per review Procedure and approved at one or more points as decided by the Project Manager at the time of Project Planning and documented in the PMP.

Wherever possible these reviews should include, review with customer or end-user and affected groups. The review records are maintained.

34

Requirement Specification begin with a clear and concise heading stating in a sentence the task to be performed (i.e. Work Objective).

For this, we have to identify the problem first. Problem specification serves as a basis of identifying work-objective that helps in describing the requirements in technical and precise statements.

5.2 PROBLEM DEFINITION

Remote Village Electrification Programme of the Ministry of New and Renewable energy (MNRE) was initiated in the year 2001 for providing basic lighting facilities in the unelectrified census villages. The MNRE-NIC cell of EIS division, NIC, Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communication & Information Technology has initiated the task of managing the information for Remote Village Electrification Programme through a web enable application software. This has been undertaken as an assignment task.

5.3 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT In the very first phase for our application we try to capture all the requirement specifications. SRS presents all the requirements along with the particular constraints and it also includes the team structure etc.

Purpose

The Purpose of this procedure is to:

Ensure that all aspects necessary to satisfy customers needs regarding deliverables, covered.

Provide criteria for user acceptance.

Procedure Steps

Requirements available from earlier iteration(s), if any, must be studied and made as a basis for further analysis. Requirements should be updated as more clarity is attained even in later iterations.

35

Purpose of This Section

This section describes the requirements for the Web based MIS on Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme. Hereafter this system will be referred as MIS-RVE.

Team of MIS-RVE conducted a detailed study for the existing manual Remote Village Electrification information management at MNRE to have a good understanding of the requirements of the Web based MIS on Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme by interviewing key personnel.

During the study, we found the information requirements, which have formed the basis of this document. This is an endeavor to document the proposed Web based MIS on Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme as understood by MIS-RVE team. This document would form the basis for MIS-RVE team to carry out the design and development of the Web based MIS on Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme.

5.4 OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

MIS-RVE team proposes a workable solution to MNRE, which eliminates all the limitations of the existing system and provides additional benefits. Requirements for the new system have been gathered from a cross-section of different prospective of the existing manual system. The requirements are also based on the defects recorded in the past. With the proposed system, MIS-RVE team believes that the working of system becomes smooth and the required information will be readily available to take the right decisions at the right time and to fulfill objectives.

Objectives of the Proposed System

The objective of the proposed system is basically to address the limitations of the current manual system and to add new functionalities which smoothens the working environment. The main objectives of the system are as follows:

To reduce the time of users of the MIS-RVE. To provide the security to the access of important details related to the

various proposals. To help the MIS-RVE users to retrieve relevant information related to

villages, status, past history etc. To maintain and control the information related to Remote Village

Electrification programme.

37

5.5 SYSTEM SECURITY

MIS-RVE Team will provide Password for accessing MIS-RVE application as a security feature. Security is the integral part of every application. It not only controls the execution of programs but also provides the facility to define groups; users and user access mechanism. User and user access mechanism are defined so that application can be used in a secured and arranged manner.

5.6 FEASIBILITY STUDY

An important outcome of the preliminary investigation is to determine that whether the system requested is feasible. Depending on the results of the preliminary investigation the survey was expanded to a more detailed feasibility study. Feasibility Study is a test of a system proposal according to its workability, impact on the organization, ability to meet user needs and effective use of resources. The objective of Feasibility study is not to solve the problem but to acquire a sense of its scope. During the study the Problem definition is crystallized and aspects of the problem to be included in the system are determined. Consequently, costs and benefits are estimated with greater accuracy at this stage. In any feasibility study, three main factors play the lead role. They are the technical factor, the economical factor. Thus to do feasibility study, the technical and economical factors in a system development are considered. The key considerations are as follows:

Technical Feasibility

It is the measure of the practicality of the specific technical solution and the availability of the technical resources and technical expertise. Technical feasibility, as the name suggests, centers on the existing computer software (hardware, Software, etc.) and to what extent the existing software can support the proposed addition. For example, if the current computer is operating at 80% capacity – an arbitrary ceiling – then running another application could overloads the system or require additional hardware. Thus in this aspect the main points considered are:

Can the work for the project to be done with current equipments, existing software technology and personnel?

If a new technology is required, what is the likelihood that it can be acquired?

Also what is the expected cost of acquiring the new technology? Will it affect the development cost to a large extent?

38

And will the technology become outdated by the time the system is completed and is ready to implement?

The MIS-RVE team is equipped with all the modern facilities and the latest software. Therefore as far as the equipment and the software was concerned there was no problem. Moreover the technical skills required to complete the project were also present in the form of competent software professionals. Thus the project was considered technically feasible.

Operational Feasibility

It is a measure of how well the solution will work in the organization. It is also a measure of how people feel about the project.

Schedule Feasibility

It is a measure of how reasonable the project timetable is. In our project, the schedule allotted is 3-4 months, which is sufficient for the project and the documentation to be completed.

Economic Feasibility

It is a measure of the cost effectiveness of the project or solution (often called cost benefit analysis). Economic analysis, which is more commonly known cost/benefit analysis, is the most frequently used method for evaluating the effectiveness of a system. The procedure is to determine the benefits and savings that are expected from system and these are compared with the cost of the system development. And if the benefits outweigh the costs, then only the decision to design and implement the system is taken. Otherwise, further justification in the proposed system will have to be made. The benefits and savings that were expected from the Upgraded system were compared with the costs. Since, the benefits outweighed the costs, a decision was made to design and implement the system. Now the next decision was regarding the choice of the place of development. And, it was decided that the whole rewriting of the existing system would be economically feasible if the development took place in Energy Information Systems Division by the members of MIS-RVE team.

39

CHAPTER – 6

DESIGN OF THE COMPONENT

6.1 INTRODUCTION

Software design sits at the technical kernel of the software engineering process and is applied regardless of the development paradigm and area of application. Design is the first step in the development phase for any engineered product or system. The designer’s goal is to produce a model or representation of an entity that will later be built. Beginning, once system requirement have been specified and analyzed, system design is the first of the three technical activities -design, code and test that is required to build and verify software.

The importance can be stated with a single word “Quality”. Design is the place where quality is fostered in s/w development. Design provides us with representations of software that can assess for quality. Design is the only way that we can accurately translate a customer’s view into a finished s/w product or system. Software design serves as a foundation for all the s/w engineering steps that follow. Without a strong design we risk building an unstable system – one that will be difficult to test, one whose quality cannot be assessed until the last stage.

During design, progressive refinement of data structure, program structure, and procedural details are developed reviewed and documented. System design can be viewed from either technical or project management perspective. From the technical point of view, design is comprised of four activities – architectural design, data structure design, interface design and procedural design.

Design is a decision making task, often concerning major decisions of a structural nature. The design process maps the “What to do?” of user requirements specifications into the “How to do it?” of the design specifications.

The output of requirements management defines what the system will do; the output of design (design document or design model) defines how it will be done and provides the relevant amount of information to the developers to enable him/her to write a valid and efficient code.

Purpose The Purpose of this procedure is to produce a design that conforms to the agreed standards and the Requirements. The purpose of design document is to act as the basis for development and provide long-term reference documentation for product support and enhancement.

41

Procedure Steps

Design available from earlier iteration(s), if any, must be studied and made as a basis for further analysis. Design should be updated as more clarity is attained in later iterations.

Development of Design, Preparation of Design Document and Model

A design team is confirmed which is identified during the Project Planning Activity. The output of Requirements analysis is studied and reviewed thoroughly. In case of any doubts, issues are discussed with Project Manager or the customer for necessary clarification.

The applicable design standards are studied. Wherever required, prototype is prepared to clarify the design requirements. Reusability is considered from past projects and available components.

High-level design of the system is prepared. High-level design essentially addresses the architecture of the system, which is a top-level software framework with well-defined internal and external interfaces.

A Low-level design is prepared based on the high level design. The Low-

level design may consist of details of the processes, user interface design

and database design etc. Data, information flows are defined, if required.

The Design of the system, consisting of high level design and low level design, is documented or modeled using a modeling tool. The high level design can also be documented in a system architecture document. Design Guidelines are referred for documenting the design.

The Design of the system is reviewed against the requirements as defined by Project Manager in, based on Review Procedure.

CHAPTER – 7

TEST PLAN

7.1 INTRODUCTION

A thorough testing of system before any implementation is mandatory, as regards its individual programs, the system as a whole, user acceptance of the system etc. This is because implementing a new system is a major job that requires a lot of man-hours and other resources, so an error not detected before implementation may cost a lot. Effective testing early in a process translates directly into long-term cost saving from reducing a number of errors. This is also necessary because in some cases, a small error not detected early before installation, may explode into a much larger problems. The testing of the system was carried out as described below: -

MODULE TESTING

The testing of individual modules was tested during the design phase itself. Each module was tested by creating test data at the time of coding and necessary changes made there on to make sure that the module is working satisfactorily. A sample of like data is used for testing to check all the mandatory requirements; also with the help of the user, each module is tested to his satisfaction.

INTEGRATION TESTING

The individual modules were interconnected with each other one by one and then tested again. Again necessary changes were made there on to make sure that the module is working satisfactorily.

Here we applied Top-Down Integration approach starting from the top modules (i.e. main module) and moving towards the rest of the modules downwards in the hierarchy.

VALIDATION TESTING

Validation testing was done to ensure that the system meets the certain standards and the requirements as stated by the user.

Both Alpha Testing and Beta Testing were carried out with the user satisfaction.

SYSTEM TESTING

System testing is designed to uncover weaknesses that were not found in the earlier tests. This includes forced system failure and validation of the total system, as its user in the optional environment will implement it. The total system

130

is also tested for recovery and rollback after various major failures to ensure that no data are test during the emergency.

After a successful testing of individual program and JSP Forms, the whole system was run through a series of test to ensure the working of the system as a whole.

The objective of the entire process is to verify that the program meet the original programming specifications to ensure that the computer operations staff has adequate documentation to run the system, to ensure that the users department are able to input data properly when all the program and JSP Forms are interconnected.

7.2 MORE TESTING TECHNIQUES

Apart from the testing techniques that have been mentioned above, some more testing was carried out which is described as below: -

SECURITY TESTING

Security is a protection system that is needed for both secure confidential information and for competitive purposes to assure third parties that their data will be protected. The amount of security provided will be dependent upon the risks associated with compromise or loss of information.

RECOVERY TESTING

Recovery testing is used to ensure that operations can be continued after a disaster. Recovery testing not only verifies the recovery process, but also the effectiveness of the component parts of that process.

In this project, we have taken care of recovery whenever the system crashes or the application is halted due to unwanted reasons. During the entry of a new case, the system will first check the integrity of the data and then proceed.

EXECUTION TESTING

Execution testing is designed to determine whether the system achieves the desired level of proficiency in a production status. Execution testing can verify response times, turnaround times as well as design performance. The execution

131

of system can be tested in whole or in part, using the actual system or a simulated model of a system.

We have taken special care of response time by creating necessary indexes on relevant fields in database. The efficiency of the system was considerably increased.

REGRESSION TESTING

Whenever one segment of the system was developed, it was thoroughly tested. If a change is made to another part of the system, then those segments were again tested to ensure that they still function properly after a change has been made to them.

ERROR HANDLING TESTING

Error-handling testing determines the ability of the application system to properly process incorrect transactions. All the necessary errors have been taken care of by appropriate error messages and error-handling routines in the application.

STRING TESTING

Virtually every program interacts with the other programs. The output of one program may be the input for another program. As each program is successfully completed and successfully passes the logical tests prepared for it, it is tested to see that it configures, interacts with the related programs in the system successfully. Apart from this, all the data fields were checked for correct data types.

132

CHAPTER – 8

CONCLUSION

8.1 BENEFITS OF THE SYSTEM

It has been a great pleasure for me to work on this exciting and challenging project. This project proved good for me as it provided practical knowledge of not only programming in ASP and SQL Server but also about all handling procedure related with “Web based MIS on Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme”. It also provides knowledge about the technology used in developing web enabled application. This will provide me better opportunities and guidance in future in developing projects independently.

The “Web based MIS on Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme” was successfully tested and was ready for implemented in trial basis. The benefits of the system are listed below:-

User friendliness

The system is menu driven i.e. the easy to use menus are provided as an interface between the user and the system. The user only has to navigate through a few screens to do the desired job. Also proper error or validation messages are displayed to help the user in accomplishing whatever he or she desires to do.

Fast and Efficient

The system is fast and more efficient as compared to the manual system. It is also more efficient as answers to various Queries like showing village information, state wise, district wise etc.

Optimized

Use of normalization and RDBMS has certainly helped in the optimization and reducing redundancy in the database to a certain extent.

Data Validation

With the use of various Constraints and Validation checks, proper validation of data is being done before the data is inserted or any updating of the data in the database is attempted by the User, thus considerably reducing the chances of wrong data being inserted into the database.

134

Security

With the use of passwords given to every user of MNRE, it has been made sure that we have a check on every user, records enters by him/her in the database.

8.2 FUTURE PROSPECTS

Every system is vulnerable to changes in requirements or some new requirements may come in the enterprise after sometime. Though the system has been designed in manner so as to keep the future needs of the Remote Village Electrification System in mind, changes in requirements can still be accommodated into the system by either attaching new modules to it or by altering the existing ones depending on the requirements.
