Development of PIMSNET

Project Information & Management System
Network (PIMSNET) is an on-line web enabled
system and has been implemented on the Web
and is available at http://www.pimsnet.gen.in

It facilitates information on general guidelines
for operation, management and monitoring of
the projects; project details; expenditure
management; and reports and queries.

It provides online monitoring and concurrent
evaluation of 845 NATP sub projects.
INDIAN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, NEW DELHI-110012

Guidelines for Monitoring and Concurrent Evaluation
of projects under NATP were framed
– Monitoring hierarchy – for each research mode
– Monitoring indicators – physical, technical and
financial
– Monitoring period – Half yearly and annual
– Scheme for Quantification of Monitoring Indicators
and Scoring for Performance- self, PIMSNET
performance rating, PRT

PIMSNET has the module on M & CE based on these
guidelines to track the progress of projects
– to see the inputs, work schedules, other required
actions, outputs are proceeding as per plan
– feed back to initiate timely actions for correcting
deficiencies in the implementation process
