What is… • VIGEYE • Acronym for Vigilance Eye • Empowers citizens to keep an eye on the corruption taking place in their neighbourhood • Vigilant and public spirited citizen capture information on corruption and pass them on to a central server in the cloud • They are acknowledged and enabled to track the processing of this information leveraging available technologies • GPMS • An abbreviation for Global Project Management System • World’s best practices on how to get things done are used to process the information, as it gets validated, collated, analysed and transformed to actionable intelligence • Crowd sourcing is extensively used in the information processing
How Project Vigeye works… • A citizen with a mobile sends a sms VIGEYE to a designated number • An patent pending application gets downloaded to the said mobile (Currently about 100 models are supported) • The citizen sets up the application on the handset and gets ready to use the same • The citizen is now empowered to capture voice, document, photo, video, or even a signed note, validate the same and transmit it to the central server • Central Processing then takes over after acknowledging and giving a complaint ID to the sender for tracking progress achieved in processing the information
How GPMS works… • Global Project Management System is another set of applications that helps to track progress of public funded projects from conception to completion • With the willing participation of all stakeholders, who share information in their domain responsibly through the central platform called GPMS, the information continuously gets collated and analysed and presented to domain experts for their inputs and interventions • GPMS serves as a knowledge management portal through which capacity and skill building interventions for all stakeholders are made possible • A network of networks enables to gets things done

Weaknesses • Adequate Publicity not given– only 7231 vigeyes registered till date, out of which 1800 were registered within first 10 days • Though some complaints were followed up, better complaint tracking and closure would have prompted more citizens to participate with confidence. • Need more clarity in ownership and responsibility for the complete and effective adoption and use of the system • Capacity building programs need to be organised continually • A Call processing centre is still to be established due to cumbersome tender process and delay in resource allocation • Attitudinal changes need to be brought about and can be achieved only through persistence
Going forth to meet the challenges • Preventive Steps • Dedicated PMO to be set up • Ownership to be strengthened • Public involvement to be increased • Corrective Steps • Resource allocation to be improved • Technological glitches to be addressed
What lies ahead….. • Launch Phase II of Vigeyegpms • Collective steps that can be taken • TEAM INDIA • A network of Vigeye volunteers as part of Team India to be built across India in its 600 thousand villages and towns • Concept of sponsorship through CSR to be developed • TEAM ONE WORLD • Interested participants can come together as members of the Task Force to implement the IAACA work plan now with CoSP • Team One world
Come let us TEAM up as ONE WORLD “To use advanced Information & Communication Technology in improving Vigilance and Public Works Monitoring with the active involvement of concerned citizens”
