Riddhi Management Services Private Limited (RMSPL) has carved an exclusive niche for itself by helping create a surveillance system for social sectors like health, education and nutrition through the aid of GIS solutions, software enabled analytical tools and large scale capacity building programmes. Our company has worked in close cooperation with the Central Government and the State Governments of various states in India as well as esteemed international welfare agencies like UNICEF, WHO and GTZ. RMSPL has been instrumental in making Geographic Information System (GIS) a user-friendly tool in the form of whizmaps so that it can be put to use by the beneficiary bodies and not remain limited merely to the technical administrators. Whizmaps, developed by RMSPL, are devoid of unnecessary frills and complicacies. You can capture layers of information till the micro level and put across simple and complex queries for converging social issues.

Here are some of our projects where our expertise in the arena of GIS in social sector is self evident:

Census of India [2002]

CensusGIS

We have developed a GIS software which encompasses the expansive database of Census of India through Whizmaps from the village level to the national level. The database reflects various aspects of Indian demography like sex ratio, population density, religion, profession, educational status and disabilities and so on. The visitors are allowed to view, draw and print the thematic maps on any subject pertaining to Indian population

Integrated Child Development Scheme [2003]

Know More

We have been strategically instrumental in technically upgrading this early childhood care and nutrition programme of Department of Women and Child Development of West Bengal. The GIS solution comes in the form of whizmap that displays all the ICDS centres and layers of relevant socio-economic information on rural and urban West Bengal. The computer generated monthly report also includes analytical tools coupled with indicators and validations. The local administrative body and the supervisors use these analytical tools to work out the principal indicators like weighment efficiency, severe & moderate malnourishment and enrollment efficiency of their respective Blocks. Research and study proves that this live information has had considerable effect in the form of hike in weighing and enrollment of children and improvement in their nutritional status. This project obviously includes a large scale capacity building of the administrative officials from Block to State levels on computer fundamentals, generation of monthly reports and whizmaps funded by UNICEF.
 The representatives from Orissa, Assam and Karnataka also underwent capacity building workshops on effective use of GIS and software analytical tools in nutrition surveillance and ICDS monitoring.

Pulse Polio Programme-Monitoring and Analysis [2003]

We have effectively collaborated with World Health Organization in developing sophisticated software for monitoring and analysis of Pulse Polio programme.

GIS on Deprived Urban Children (DUC) [2004]

We have developed a GIS enabled software for UNICEF which generates reports on the school drop outs, educational status migration and working status of DUC in West Bengal.  

School Efficiency Index software [2004]

This UNICEF project required precise location of each school (preprimary, primary and alternative ) in every revenue village through whizmaps. Other data like out of school children from every community and relevant socio-economic data were also a part of this GIS solution including query facilities. The project also included capacity building programmes for district level and state level officials.

Software for rural healthcare facilities [2004]

This health project was funded by GTZ, a renowned international donor agency. We developed user-friendly software for preparation of database& analysis system for Primary Health Centres and Block Primary Health Centres maintained by GTZ.

Decentralized Information Management Initiative (DIMI) [2005]

www.trendswestbengal.org/dimi

We are in the process of developing an information network for some districts of West Bengal from the micro level of a village focusing on the health, nutrition, education, assets and livelihood of individual households through browser based Whizmaps and database. This project aims at creating convergence in the crucial sectors of development-health, nutrition and education from the micro level of a village. Tracking of individual mother and child is an important feature which makes this mission unique and inimitable. The entire process also embraces technical support for preparation, management and analysis of the database a well as large scale capacity building workshops for the entire administrative body ranging from the village Panchayats to the state level officials.

Food insecurity and Vulnerable Index mapping [2005]

We are in developing Whizmaps supported by extensive database for all the villages in the state of Himachal Pradesh focused on food insecurity and vulnerability mapping. This undertaking is funded by FAO.

Self Help Group-Social Welfare Department of West Bengal [2006]

This project funded by Department of Women and Child Development of West Bengal, incorporates tools for analyzing data and generation of monthly reports of the various Self Help groups formed at the Gram Panchayat level.
