The document outlines plans for developing a web portal to share information about the construction of a dam. The portal will have features like news, forums, a gallery, and bond purchasing. It will promote transparency and accountability by making project details and public opinions more accessible. The portal is intended to improve information management and public engagement during the dam's development by centralizing updates on a secure website available anywhere. It will be built using Microsoft technologies and deployed to benefit both the government and general public stakeholders in the project.

5. Why a web portal ..?(statement of the problem
 Very low interaction b/n people about dam.
 To deliver a precise & up-to-date information.
 Record gradual devp’t of the construction process.
 Lack of room to entertain people’s opinion about the
project.

6. Why a web portal ..?( statement of the problem
 Unnecessary redundancy / duplication of information
 Delays in access and data insecurity
 Less integrated data and inconsistency
 Un managed information flow
(please see statement of problem on the technical
proposal)
