After formation of Maharashtra state in 1960, Government of India agreed to the policy of balanced development on the basis of district as a unit of formulation of five years plan and annual plans. In this process, districts have the discretion to prioritize among the various development schemes within the outlay provided. For this purpose, District Planning Committees (DPCs) was constituted in each district under the Article 243rd of the 74th amendment of the Constitution.

Moreover, ESDS provided 4 main features which the DPCs needed the most. Document Management System, Fund Management and Monitoring, Work Flow Automation and GIS based work monitoring.
The Benefit

The system has also improved DPC’s productivity by reducing the document process time. At the same time, district planning officers can now easily track and monitor the work carried out by the implementation agencies, enhancing the reliability and credibility of the reports.
