PARAKH is a comprehensive digital solution developed by the Madhya Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation (MPSEDC). It is available as both a web portal and a mobile application. Its primary objective is to simplify and streamline data collection, field inspections, and survey work across various government departments in Madhya Pradesh.

This platform allows users to create and submit different types of forms based on their responsibilities, such as:

• Field Inspection & Survey Form: Used to conduct inspections and record survey information by visiting designated sites.
• Sudden Inspection Form: Used by departmental officials to upload reports and photographs of surprise inspections conducted without any prior notice.
• Asset Survey Report: Facilitates the digital inspection and tracking of government or departmental properties (such as buildings, open plots, etc.).
• Data Collection & General Form: Acts as a general questionnaire for routine or periodic information updates.

This application is used by three distinct types of users:

1. Citizen Users: General citizens can access and fill out general public forms through this option.
2. Department Users: Government officials and employees who complete field inspections, asset management, and department-related surveys.
3. Agency/Vendor Users: External agencies or partners who submit their work reports or inspection reports.

• Mobile App Functionality: For field operations, department inspectors can download the mobile app, log in by selecting their district, and identify survey locations with the help of red pins (red markers) displayed on the map. If there are network issues in the field, the app features a ‘Save As Draft’ option, allowing data to be saved offline and the form to be completed later.
• User Hierarchy: A clear hierarchy is defined on the web portal to ensure security and smooth operations. Under this, the State Admin creates profiles for Nodal Officers, Nodal Officers further create Reporting Officers, and Reporting Officers add the ground-level Inspectors.
• Asset Allocation & Deadlines: Through the web system, administrators can assign specific assets to the respective departmental employees for inspection. They can also set monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual deadlines to ensure data is updated on time.
• Reporting Dashboard: Through the “Reports” section, higher officials can easily view completed surveys, track photographs taken during surprise inspections, and filter data by department or district to analyze progress.
