CCTNS

For efficient implementation of CCTNS across the country and to facilitate standardization across States, NCRB is getting the Core Application Software (CAS) developed centrally through a Software Development Agency (SDA). The CAS developed centrally is referred as CAS (Centre). Each State is required to implement State level Core Application Software CAS (State). CAS (State) would include selected functionalities of the Police Department at the state level, with emphasis on the Police Station functionality. CAS (State) needs to be designed and implemented basis specific requirements of each State. At the same time, CAS (State) is also required to integrate the functionalities of CAS (Centre).

The Implementation Strategy for CCTNS has been devised keeping in view the followingconsiderations:

1. NeGP frameworks of centralized planning and decentralized implementation.
2. Need for ownership of the State Governments of the overall program implementation, the infrastructure, application and the database; at the same time maintaining uniformity ofinformation systems in order to facilitate information sharing and availability across states and at the national level.
3. Need to undertake the implementation of this large-scale project in a coordinated manner through experienced implementation agencies by entrusting them with the responsibility of end-to-end implementation with a clear set of deliverables.
4. Need to synchronize the rollout of the hardware and network components with the rollout of other equally important soft components such as training, capacity building and change management.
5. The implementation of CCTNS would be taking an “integrated service delivery” approach rather than that of procurement of hardware and software. Accordingly, CCTNS adopts a“bundling of services” approach to implementation. All the implementation components at the state level are “bundled” and contracted out to a single Systems Integrator (SI) who would act as a single point of contact and accountable for the implementation and performance of CCTNS. The bundle of services would include the following:

State assisted by SPMC would select the SI through a competitive bidding process. The SI would be held responsible for the outcomes of the program and theirpayments would be linked to the progress of the project as well as the outcomes of the program.

The table below provides the committees /teams that form part of the governance structure and their roles and responsibilities as defined in the CCTNS implementation guidelines provided by MHA.

The composition of State Apex Committee is as following:

The composition of State Empowered Committee is as following:

The composition of State Mission Team is as following:

The composition of District Mission Team will have the following members:

Since the implementation of CCTNS and a significant part of the functionality of CCTNS application are driven by the states, State Project Management Consultants is engaged to support the State Empowered Committee in the following areas:

1. Preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR).
2. Assisting the state in identifying the state Systems Integrator (SI):
3. Customizing the model RFP (Request for Proposal) provided by MHA/NCRB
4. Releasing the RFP assisting the state in managing the bid process
5. Assisting the states with the assessment of techno-commercial appraisal of bids in identifying the state level Systems Integrator (SI).
6. Developing the functional specifications for the extensions/enhancements of CCTNS application not covered by MHA/NCRB.

State Project Management Unit (SPMU)

In order to monitor the progress on CCTNS the state would engage a state-level Program Management Unit (S-PMU).The scope of S-PMU’s work would include the following:

• • Overall project planning and management in collaboration with state Empowered Committee and State/District Mission teams: includes planning, supervising the overall progress of the project, monitor conformance with the timelines, budgets and service levels

• • Review the scope and technical solutions (covering all CCTNS components) provided by the SI

• • Acceptance testing and acceptance

• • Perform structured transition and rollout

• • Post-deployment reviews

• • Confirm and monitor service levels through the engagement with the SI through periodic reviews

• • Monitor the implementation of the project according to the project plan and report to the state Empowered Committee and C-PMU

• Assess the progress of the implementation and recommend release of funds to the state nodal agency for the SI.

CCTNS adopts a “bundling of services” approach to implementation. Accordingly, all the implementation components at the state level are “bundled” and contracted out to a single Systems Integrator (SI) who would act as a single point of contact and accountability for the implementation, integration and performance of CCTNS. The bundle of services would include the following:

1. Program Planning and Management.
2. The SI would customize and implement CCTNS core application provided by NCRB under the guidance of and in consultation with NIC.
3. The SI would develop and deploy additional functionality that is scoped under CCTNS (for some of the additional functionality, the central nodal agency would provide the functional specifications to ensure standardization across states).
4. Procurement, installation and commissioning of hardware (including PCs, peripherals, etc.) at police stations and higher offices including site preparation.
5. Procurement, deployment and commissioning of communications infrastructure (Network, Wiring, Switches etc.) at all police stations and higher offices; SWAN and State Data Center would be leveraged to the extent possible.
6. Capacity building –
   a) Awareness and Sensitization of benefits of IT along with the application level training
   b) Trainers Training
   c) System Administration and Support Training
   d) Handholding support to the police stations for 6 months
7. Change management.
8. Procurement, configuration and commissioning of specialized infrastructure and applications as necessary.
9. Utilization Statements/ Progress Reports.
10. Digitization of Historical Records.
11. Application, System and Network Maintenance.

The SI would be held responsible for the outcomes of the program and their payments would be linked to the progress of the project as well as the outcomes of the program. The payment schedule will be based on achieving milestones of the Project as well as on accomplishing those milestones with predefined SLAs and Standard.
