"It took 8 years for me", says Panchavarnam the chairman.
"I didn't know anything when I started as the chairman here. The officials used to call a meeting, propose a decision, make the decision and go ahead. I felt left out. When people ask questions I couldn't answer since I had no information. Things like "the ledger is missing.. or the officer incharge is on leave.." were being told to poeple.
"I am not highly educated. Earlier I didn't know anything about computers. Friends used to tell me that all these information can be computerized and things can be automated. Then, with the help of a software engineer SethuShankar I started the work.
"I didn't go to the government for help. We prepared templates for certificates and forms for every process to help computerization. Now I almost know every statistic about this town Panruti. The births and death records for the past 30 years are done. People who lose their old certificates come here to get them in minutes and leave happy without having to do a panic search or run to every desk for processing.
"Contracts assigned to different contractors by the corporation are all recorded. I have a board in my room displaying the same. This transperancy gives faith and confidence to the people who come here.
"Like this I once started displaying the number of phone calls made or received by the office, and the cost incurred. This drastically reduced the calls and the bill amount from the immediate months.
"I have asked the people not to meet any official in the office separately. Only when they meet someone individually can there be a possibility of scheming. People can give a request or petition and they can get the requested certificates in a short time. Also, when there is a maximum period notified to the consumer within which the corporation will make sure the certificates are issued, why would anyone try to force a quick response by bribing.
"All these information is also available through Panruti website. (Unfortunately, the article didn't report the website's name..)
"I designed all certificate and form templates free of charge for the corporation. Also helped them computerize record collection. In my knowledge, any corporation office in Tamilnadu can use the templates and computerize the process on same lines without having to do it from scratch." says SethuShankar the software engineer who lead the computerization process.
