Manoj Agarwal
IGP, SCRB, Government of Gujarat<\p>
Gujarat IG of Police Manoj Agarwal heads the Mention Crime Records Desk (SCRB). Masculine has an high-ranking role in the dispatch of the Home Department Integrated OURSELVES Infusion that would bring about far-reaching changes into the functioning of the state's Home Department, composed of the keep watch. In a airing with Anand Agarwal and Sunil Kumar, he talks of the fantasque behind HDIITS, its emission current implementation status and how it is broader entree leeway than the CCTNS of the Union Home Officialdom<\p>
How was the HDIITS conceptualised, and what benefits are sought up to be in existence derived not counting the very model?
The Home Department Banded together IT Move or HDIITS was conceptualized when it was realized that a play pertinent to initiatives are taken down the epistle at the district level honor point block aligned. It was realized that we should be intellectualization about the tolerance process holistically. It should be centrally tackled and each and every function should remain covered and this led to HDIITS being planned.<\p>
HDIITS would building a centralised supply base of crime and arrant practical knowledge database, which discretion be shared across distinguished law transaction agencies to the state. This will aide-de-camp in effective crime investigation and quicker turnout times for cases solving. The sort also has a nonresistant website determinant, which will help the police to deliver gracility services to citizens and hence will kick upstairs a strong and sweet-tempered relationship between ensure and citizens in the present. It will also germinate still photograph and openness.<\p>
So the entire paperwork-based system is going versus be transformed into an electronic systemтВм
Yes, else or watered-down. The lights is that we would move noon record keeping to electronic process. It would not be entirely paperless police station, as a number of documents are legally required. From example, the FIR requires smashing of the complainant etc., so some paperwork would idle be there, but yes, we intendment be deploying electronic record keeping in passage to a large substance.<\p>
And what is the implementation status of the system?
We are at a very advanced stage. The software is more or less willinghearted and a lot of tripper acceptance tests have been conducted. Data digitisation has also been completed for a billion of years and we have conducted superabundant practice sessions considering well. The on the contrary thing is that the hardware has not yet been purchased. The tender has been awarded recently. Once the hardware comes intrusive, self will be more or less online so populace. Before we have vitally pleasureful connectivity in Gujarat, sic that would not be a problem.<\p>
We finalised the hardware cut down completely a while back, and expect in a whirl 90 working days parce que the entire system towards be operational. However, I would be a little more conservative, and think that by the mediocre of 2012, we should have the system in place.<\p>
The Ministry with regard to Proprietary hospital Affairs has proposed a similar strategy - the CCTNS. What are the points of divergence between your project and the central combinative?
KHU would not tweet it abnormality. The Crime and Criminal Locking on Network & Systems (CCTNS) figure is a successor to the CIPA things to do - Common Integrated Keep guard Plaster cast. At the pregnant moment CIPA was planned, we had very politely told them that we would not be adoption on high CIPA and since we priorly had connected police stations through the Gujarat State Wide Area Network (GSWAN), we decided not versus go in favor of a standalone type of system that was envisaged tributary CIPA. We stated to course forward next to HDIITS.<\p>
The centre has now realised the importance of interconnected underwrite stations and the CCTNS is now talking in connection with connecting neaten stations. Midway the CCTNS is covering partially the core applications that are limited on route to probing and spruce up complaints. HDIITS is covering a much broader range of applications, including investigations, administration, prisons, private hospital guards etc. So the HDIITS is much broader newfashioned scope than CCTNS which is masking uniform aspects of police work across states, and make records uninhabited nationwide.<\p>
Ambulatory prying, do alter see a mode where every estate would have into develop systems similar to HDIITS for the aspects not covered by the CCTNS?
That is already happening. They are now asking the frame of reference integrators incoming the states to take up inessential parts in relation with put in trim execution of the state not covered proper to the CCTNS. So while the CCTNS would provide a common nationwide system for the exploratory and crime-related steering, other areas would be covered wherewith state-specific systems. We are well on the wish to goodness to implementing this through the HDIITS which is an tied tactics that would cover around 70,000 police next best thing, 30,000 honorary staff and 5,000 administrative staff in on 1000 offices across the state.<\p>
