This document provides an overview of the NREGS Web App 1.0, which aims to help implement India's National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. It discusses who would use the app, including village youth, local leaders, government officials, and experts. It also describes the app's design approach of being centered on social movements and processes with a usable interface in local languages. Key screens and features of the app are shown, including login, the main screen, entering family and employment data. The architecture is described as a typical three-tier system with installations at the village and webserver levels to authenticate users and direct them to the appropriate sections.

2. Why ….
Scope of NREGS is large, spreads across the entire canvas of rural unemployment.
The process implementation has to be mirror imaged for villagers to visualize and act.
The digital divide has to be bridged by knowledge networking and information exchange

3. Who uses it ….
Village Youth leading NREGS Movement
Local Leaders creating struggle in cluster of villages
Government Officials implementing NREGS in villages
Experts on Developmental Issues contributing knowledge to Rural Society

18. Architecture Overview ….

19. Architecture Defined ….
The Architecture definition of the NREGS Web application is very simple.
It is modeled on a typical 3Tier architecture framework.
presence of the software at two distinct levels - impression is of nTier framework.

20. Two distinct levels ….
For any data driven application to work the criteria of user authentication; or simply put
Login of a user is very much essential. This is because the software system must know
who is trying to access the system as every type of user has a separate and well defined
role to function. Depending on the Login the system will direct the user to a specific part
of the software system.
The NREGS Web Application will be one single piece of software installed at two locations.
They would be:
1. It would be installed in the laptop or desktop used by the 1v1c-ITforSocialChange
Volunteers at the Village Level. These installations would be termed as Nodal Units.
2. It would be hosted on a webserver at http://nregs.it4sc.net/. This installation would
be termed as the Web Unit.
The login procedure will be used primarily to identify the user who is trying to access the
system and then direct the user to the pre-defined section of the system. Certain inputs
from the user are captured by the system in such a manner that they can be propagated
throughout the system till that user is logged on.
