New Delhi : The government has approved the computerisation of state treasuries within three years at an overall cost of Rs.626 crore, the finance ministry said Friday.
“The scheme, to be implemented in nearly three years beginning 2010-11, would support states and union territories to fill the existing gaps in their treasury computerisation, upgradation, expansion, and interface requirements,” Minister of State for Finance Namo Narain Meena said in the Lok Sabha.
Under the scheme, each district will be allocated Rs. one crore for the computerisation.
The scheme covers installation of suitable hardware and application software systems in a networked environment on a wide area basis and building interfaces for data sharing among various stake holders.
