Samutkarsh

Samutkarsh is an android application for the use of coordinators appointed by Swami Vivekananda Gujarat Rajya Yuva Board (SVGRYB), Sports, Youth and Cultural Activities Department, Government of Gujarat. SVGRYB follows a hierarchical structure to manage its operations across the state of Gujarat. The state has been divided into 8 zones with 3-5 districts each. Each zone is headed by a Zonal Coordinator. Each districted is headed by a District Coordinator or Jilla Sanyojak which directly reports to its respective Zonal Coordinator. Further in the hierarchy are the Taluka Coordinators and Nagar Palika Sanyojaks which report to their Jilla Sanyojaks.

The main objective of these coordinators is to get the benefits of government schemes to their intended beneficiaries

Samutkarsh helps these coordinators to manage their work online, fill survey forms and manage their subordinates on the field. Samutkarsh also helps these coordinators to give information about government welfare schemes to their intended beneficiaries.

Among its many services, Samutkarsh has a “Daily Reporting” Module where coordinators can fill up their worksheet for the day. These entries are also visible to their direct superior and the Project Management Unit at the state level.

Through Survey Module the PMU designs a survey to study the efficiency and productivity of government schemes at the grassroots level. Training Module helps the coordinators to learn about new government schemes and new skills through interactive videos followed by a questionnaire to assess their learning. A module named My Beneficiary has been added to the application to keep a note of all the people who are made the beneficiaries of government schemes through SVGRYB Coordinators. Under the Yojanas module, all the schemes of government of Gujarat and Government of India are being listed to make coordinators thorough with them. Through Check Eligibility, module coordinators can check the eligibility of any person for various government schemes.

As SVGRYB is a huge structure of coordinators a Map module in the application has been provided to Managers to track the location of all the subordinates under their jurisdiction.

Overall, Samutkarsh plays a huge supporting role to help SVGRYB Coordinators who further help some of the most disadvantages communities in the state to gain access to the benefits of government schemes.
