India's Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) are categorized into three main types based on their scope and implementation:

1. Central MMPs

These projects are developed and implemented by central government ministries or departments. They typically address services that have a national scope and impact, often involving multiple states.

• Focus: Services with a nationwide application.

• Examples:

  • Passport Seva Project: For issuing and managing passports across the country. 🛂

  • Income Tax: For online filing of tax returns and related services. 🧾

  • MCA21: E-governance initiative for the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, providing services for company registration and compliance. 💼

2. State MMPs

These projects are initiated and managed by state governments to cater to specific needs and services within their respective states. They often focus on services that are primarily delivered at the state or local level.

• Focus: Services specific to a particular state or region.

• Examples:

  • e-District: To provide various district-level citizen services online, such as birth certificates, death certificates, and income certificates. 📄

  • Land Records: Digitization and computerization of land revenue records for improved transparency and accessibility. 🗺️

  • Commercial Taxes: To streamline tax administration and services for commercial taxpayers within a state. 💰

3. Integrated MMPs

These projects involve collaboration and integration between central and state governments, or between different states, to deliver services that require multi-level coordination. They often act as platforms connecting various services.

• Focus: Services requiring coordination between multiple government levels or entities.

• Examples:

  • Common Services Centres (CSCs): A network of IT-enabled service delivery points in rural and remote areas, offering a range of government and private services. 🌐

  • e-Courts: To computerize the Indian judiciary, integrating courts at various levels. 🏛️

  • National e-Governance Service Delivery Gateway (NSDG): Acts as a central hub to facilitate the delivery of e-services across states and central ministries. 🔗
