To meet the information needs of the various programmes of the DRDA, a database is required to know the available resources at villages level. A survey has been conducted for this purpose. Data collected through survey has been computerized. This database will be used to generate reports in different formats for planning and decision-making.

Mandla district is leading in MIS Data entry among other districts in Madhya Pradesh

In preparedness for the implementation of the MIS for NREGS the household data from all the blocks in the district was compiled and sent to NIC HQ for processing. The offline MIS S/w was installed in all the blocks  with the processed data. The MIS has been implemented in all the Nine  blocks of the districts.
