Civic body to upgrade digital infrastructure

As part of the administrative reforms, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will set up an Information Storage Retrieval and Management System. The system will store documents and backup data on various services of the civic body.

BBMP has earmarked Rs 7.50 crore in the budget for upgrading digital infrastructure. According to the proposal prepared by the civic body the digitisation of various departments that provide services, a good digital communication network, and a robust computing platform are important and rather urgent requirements for an organisation like the BBMP, where dependency on IT applications is growing.
