The number of reports helped District Administration, Dept of Social welfare and the Health Dept. in effective monitoring. The initiative ensures that better quality data is generated and stored for future decision making.The Reports can be opened at the home page of the district website (unakoti.nic.in) for public viewing and monitoring and do not need any user authentication.
