Gujarat Company to provide solution for Illegal mining to the Central Govt

They may not be on the same page politically but the UPA government, it seems, is looking towards opposition-ruled states for administrative best practices.
The mines ministry is pushing states to adopt a software developed by ncode, the IT arm of the Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Company Limited – promoted by the Gujarat government – to check rampant illegal mining and consequent loss of revenue. Some time ago, the HRD ministry decided to prepare a blueprint for states to adopt the BSP government's innovative IVRS-based mid-day meal tracking system in Uttar Pradesh.
A senior official of the mines ministry said: "The software effectively ensures that every truck that passes the main entry gate of the mine is weighed and the data gets directly transmitted to the government without any human interface or chance of fudging. This means that the mine owner will have to pay duty on that amount and there is no way he can undervalue the produce to cheat the government."
