IT?s happening in Bhaktapur

21 November, Nov 21, 2008 (Asia Pulse Data Source via COMTEX) --
Laxman Shrestha, leans down to press the start button of the newly installed computer at Bhaktapur DDC. It is an old and slow machine that takes five minutes to boot up. But it?s better than nothing in Nepal?s most IT-savvy DDC office.

Shrestha works for the Bhaktapur district development office and with considerable pride opens up the Government of Nepal website and shows us how his districts posts all its information online.

Since June 2008, Bhaktapur has been one of several DDCs to start computerising its office. Believing that technology could help make work more efficient and respond faster to demand, Bhaktapur raised the necessary funds to install the technology.



?We can now network with 16 of our VDCs and the main ministry,? Shrestha says.
The volume of work at the DDC was such that often services were slow and not up to the standard required. The hope is that the new technology will eventually help DDC staff serve the people of Bhaktapur more effectively and competently.

However, as most employees don?t yet know how to use the computers proficiently, the technology is not being used to its full capacity. Staff are receiving training, but this is a slow business. Nevertheless, Shrestha remains confident that with a little more practice, the computer technology will make a big difference not just to Bhaktapur but to other districts in Nepal.
