State of Andhra Pradesh. The total population of the district

NIC's presence
NIC District Centre at West
Godavari was established in 1988 and ever since , the district
administration has utilized the NICNET services very
effectively. NIC Centre too has demonstrated its strength,
rising to expectations and supporting the district
administration in every possible way thus commanding a lot of
respect. RURAL E-seva
This is one of the most
important e-governance projects being carried out in the
District. E-Seva was formally inaugurated by the Hon'ble Chief
Minister of Andhra Pradesh on 10th Jan, 2003 at Denduluru
Mandal, Westgodavari District. This project delivers various
G2C and C2C services in rural areas. The project basically
operates at the mandal level through web enabled rural kiosks
called `e-Seva Kendrams'. The project has various significant
components and one of them is a unique off-line tool which
facilitates mandal level E-Seva kendrams to operate off-line
and synchronize their databases with the main server at
periodic intervals. This reduces the cost in transferring and
entering data through dial-up connections.
Some prominent services
offered under the Rural e-Seva Project include (G2C) - Online
filing of Complaints and Grievances, Online beneficiary
Application Registration, Issuance of Certificates, Payment of
Electricity Bills, Online Mandi (Market) Rates, Tele
Agriculture, Gramadarshini, Hand Book of West Godavari, Forms
Download, Devasthanam , (C2G) - Online Auctions and Biddings,
Citizen forum, Matrimonial Services, Yellow Pages, Online Jobs
and (G2G) Consumable Management, Drug Requirement for Govt.
