Abstract

From Introduction: Managing information better, has become an unceasing quest for mankind and a critical requirement for leadership in every and each sphere. District Primary Education Programme is first amongst the social sector projects in India, that is being so closely monitored through a computerised management information system. While considerable progress has been achieved, there is ample scope for the further improvement in the implementation, analysis and use of data emerging from the system. Cross sharing and learning from each other's experience is a powerful means for improving use and overcoming the difficulties. To address the issues and problems faced at different levels i.e. district, state and the national level on implementation of MIS and in particular to building of the school level databases for two years, a two days national level sharing workshop was organised at Chennai (12-13th September, 1997). This workshop provided an opportunity to introspect our EMIS related activities and lo tie-up the loose ends in implementation and make the MIS achieve its objective of timely availability responsive to user needs and enhancing reliability.
