OPEPA Odisha Child Tracking System
Educational Personal Information System (EPIS) has been developed to generate TIS by computerizing the personal details of all the employees and teachers/SS/EVs under School and Mass Education Department alongwith their monthly pay roll/remuneration, details of service particulars and loans as well as pending court cases etc.
This will be implemented in each of the DDOs staring from Directorate of Elementary Education and OPEPA at State level to DPC, D.I. and BDOs at field level where the pay roll of the employees and teachers/SSs/EVs are being maintained.
Why EPIS?
EPIS will be implemented independently at 432 locations (each DDOs) under Directorate of Elementary Education simultaneously. This information will be assimilated at District Project Office and further will be synchronized to State Server of OPEPA through V-Sat.
These are some reasons why we are going for such an Information System :
1) This will help the administration to get on-line information on employee details. Pay roll, Budgeting, Expenditure monitoring, Court cases monitoring can be done by EPIS.
2) As the teachers/SSs/EVs will be tagged with School EMIS Code in the system, on-line information about school-wise teacher requirement with respect to children can be assessed and the appropriate authority can take the decision for teacher rationalization and recruitment for support to the schools.
3) This will also give the detail information of the teachers gradation list as well as forthcoming retirement position in the year so that appropriate administrative actions can be taken.
4) This will be updated at each DDO to generate the pay bill and acquaintance roll for the employees/teachers/SSs/EVs in each month. This will support the Department for budget controlling and submission of Utilization Certificate. Each employee will also be given a pay slip showing details of his/her pay and deduction.
Who Are To Be Covered?
1) All the employees under Directorate of Elementary Education
2) All the deputed and contractual employees under OPEPA and District Project Office.
3) BRCCs/CRCCs/SSs/EVs getting salary from District Project Offices or D.I. of Schools.
4) All the employees and teachers under the control of D.I. of School including the D.I. of Schools.
5) Employees and teachers under Elementary Education and getting salary from Block Offices and ULBs.
Roles & Responsibility
1) The Programmer of the District Project Office will monitor the smooth implementation of the software at different DDOs.
2) The DDOs will be responsible for collection and authentication of the data in prescribed formats for all the employees and teachers under their control.
3) The concerned employees and teachers/SSs/EVs will verify their individual formats, provide necessary information which is not available in Service Book or any official records and sign in each page of the format certifying that the provided information are correct.
4) Implementing Agency will enter the data in the software for each DDO, install the software at each DDO location and D.I.S. alongwith a computer professional at each D.I.S. for six months to facilitate the DDO for monthly Updation, pay bill generation and data accumulation and consolidation.
How To Go About It?
1) Each DDO has to intimate OPEPA on the detail statistics of number of employees/teachers/SSs/EVs present in their Office through the assessment format supplied vide Office letter No. 5464, Dt.16.8.2006. 20 Districts have already intimated the same.
2) OPEPA will assess the format requirement, print and supply to the DDOs though DPCs along with the instruction manuals. One set of instruction manual will be provided to one DDO location along with Annexure.
3) Each employee will fill up two sets of form. First set in pencil first and then in Ball point pen and second set in Ball Point Pen. One will be retained with DDO and second one will be sent to OPEPA for computerization.
