After winning mandate to implement Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS) in three States, NIIT Technologies is planning to bid for seven more States as the Union Government pushing all States to come on board.
NIIIT Tech will implement the network in Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh all valued at Rs 300 crore. The company, which recently commissioned Rs 228-crore Intranet Prahari project for Border Security Force, would implement the CCTNS project in 3-6 phases in the States that would take five years to reach operational phase.
“The Government announced results of 12 States so far, naming companies that would implement the network in those States. We are in pursuit of similar mandates in some other States,” Mr Arvind Thakur, Chief Executive Officer of NIIT Tech, said.
Re-tendering process
The Government is in the process of re-tendering projects in eight States and eight more tenders are in progress.
Announcing the mandate it won on the sidelines of Nasscom Leadership Forum here on Wednesday, Mr Thakur said the project is aimed at connecting some 14,000 police stations, 6,000 district headquarters and other important government offices, using IT solutions.
This will facilitate law-enforcing agencies to quickly access data on crimes and criminals in any part of the country.
