State Wide Area Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A State Wide Area Network (SWAN) is one of the core infrastructure components under the National e-Governance Plan of the Government of India. The main purpose of this network is to create a dedicated Closed User Group (CUG) network and provide a secured and high speed connectivity for Government functioning and connecting State Head Quarters, District Head Quarters, Blocks Head Quarters. The SWAN project, which forms a strategic component of the National eGovernance Plan, was approved in March 2005.[1]

6.4 SWAN Rollout Status:
The SWAN project is at an advanced stage of implementation in six out of the 35 States and Union Territories. These six States are Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Punjab and Haryana. In 7 out of 35 (20 %) of States / UTs, the SWAN has not yet been initiated. In the balance States / UTs, the SWAN rollout has been initiated and at various stages of implementation. As per the current estimate 9 (25%) of the States / UT should be ready with the SWAN in the next 12 months i.e. by the time the CSCs rollout. The overall status is reflected in Exhibit 32:

Connectivity


6.0 The Connectivity Options

6.1 The SWAN:
The State Wide Area Networks (SWAN) have been identified as one of the core infrastructure components under NeGP. The Department of Information Technology, Government of India (hereafter referred to as DIT), is the nodal department for SWAN implementation in the 29 States and 6 Union Territories. The SWAN Scheme proposes to establish a minimum of 2 Mbps connectivity up to the block level through extension and creation of NICNET / SWANsacross the country. The Scheme is being implemented as a “centralized initiative with decentralized implementation”.

The CSC scheme would be complimentary to the SWAN as CSCs would serve as the end delivery points and SWAN will be the backbone for communication and electronic commerce.

"Project components

The Project Components of the CSC consist primarily of Content & Services, Technology, Connectivity, Capacity Building and Business Model.[8]
[edit] Implementation

The implementation of the CSC would be done in a Public-Private-Partnership(PPP) model whereby the total project cost of Rs. 57.42 billion, over 4 years, would be shared between Government(30% equal to Rs. 16.49billion) and private finances (70% equal to Rs. 40.93 billion).[6] The split between central and state government would be Rs. 8.56 billion and Rs. 7.93 billion respectively.[5] As of 31st Jan 2011, 88,689 CSCs have been rolled out in thirty one States/UTs. 100% CSCs have been rolled out in 11 (Eleven) States (Chandigarh, Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Kerala, Manipur, Pondicherry, Sikkim & Tripura). More than 80% of the rollout has been completed in 6 States (Assam, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram and West Bengal). In about 6 States (Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand) implementation of CSCs have crossed half way mark (more than 50%). It is expected that the roll out of 100,000 CSCs would be completed by March 2011.[1]"

"As on 31st December 2011, a total of 97,871 CSCs have been rolled out in thirty three States/UTs. 100% CSCs have been rolled out in 13 (Thirteen) States (Arunachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, Puducherry, Sikkim & Tripura). More than 70% of the rollout has been completed in 12 (Twelve) States (Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Uttaranchal and West Bengal). In about 3 (Three) States (Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh) implementation of CSCs have crossed half way mark (more than 50%). As of March 2011, the target of completing roll out of 100,000 CSCs was June 2011. However, the target is not met.

A total of about 20,396 CSCs have been affected due to termination/ re-bidding. 14,138 CSCs have been affected due to SCA termination in 8 States. These States are Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand. About 5406 CSCs have been affected due to delay in the SCA selection process in the States of Karnataka and Punjab. Due to naxal affected and difficult areas, about 2588 CSCs have been delayed."

Sub: 99 Rs. Broadband Plan to be offered to ail CSCs

"State Data Centre (SDC) has been identified as one of the important element of the core infrastructure for supporting e-Governance initiatives of National eGovernance Plan (NeGP).

Under NeGP, it is proposed to create State Data Centres for the States to consolidate services, applications and infrastructure to provide efficient electronic delivery of G2G, G2C and G2B services. These services can be rendered by the States through common delivery platform seamlessly supported by core Connectivity Infrastructure such as State Wide Area Network (SWAN) and Common Service Centre (CSC) connectivity extended up to village level. State Data Centre would provide many functionalities and some of the key functionalities are Central Repository of the State, Secure Data Storage, Online Delivery of Services, Citizen Information/Services Portal, State Intranet Portal, Disaster Recovery, Remote Management and Service Integration etc. SDCs would also provide better operation & management control and minimize overall cost of Data Management, IT Resource Management, Deployment and other costs.

Department of Information Technology (DIT) has formulated the Guidelines to provide Technical and Financial assistance to the States for setting up State Data Centre. These Guidelines also include the implementation options that can be exercised by the State to establish the SDC.

SDC scheme has been approved by Government with an outlay of Rs. 1623.20 Crores over a period of 5 years.

It is expected that the State Data Centres shall be set-up and operationalised in all the States/UTs by March 2011."
