Pune municipal corporation goes hi-tech




The other important feature in the website is the inclusion of Wiki software that allows creation of an employee zone for internal management of the corporation.

Through Wiki, employees would now be able to create, edit, link, and organize the content of the projects they are involved in.

To ensure better navigation, the PMC website will change every month. "In the next version Wiki software will allow the citizens to talk about development plans of the city. Later versions intend to include the software for citizens to help the corporation with their strategic infrastructure expertise, so as to develop a standard in the city," said Saraph.

"Till now we have trained 180-odd employees and expect to train 50 employees a month to ensure more usage of the software," he said.

The website in it present form has been visited by more than half a million people.

Comment 1: respected sir/madam
my name is abhishek,student of tycs resident from mumbai visited pune last week. i founded out that pune's people have forgotten the proverb
"athiiti devo bhavo". they think " athithi devo(give money) bhavo".

i first encountered with all rickshawala at pune station . he was charging rs 100 to go to shivaji nagar . he told that no one would take us without rs 100. there was unity in them. i went to traffic police. even he failed to do any think.

the second incident was even shocking, we were near laxmi road pune, time was 9 pm . no rickshwala was ready to come to shivaji nagar. i tried to take no of one rickshwala. he came out gave absurd words. and even used bad languages. he called all his friend and threatned us in the middle of whole road. my mother and aunt tried to resolved the problem but he literally pushed them. even traffic police were not there in whole area.

i really feel sorry about this incident. i feel happy that i m not resident of pune but mumbai , were life is more secured and not corrupted.

no of rickshaw was 9891 mh 12.

pls look into matter as fast as possible.

Comment 4: This is a very good initiative but if I am not wrong, paying property tax online has been possible in Hyderabad for a long long time now.. so this is no first.
