Kathmandu, February 21

The NRA developed the Project Monitoring Information System (PMIS) with the financial aid of Asian Development Bank and launched it today. The engineers deployed in reconstruction task of wards of 32 earthquake-affected districts can keep records in this system.

User name and password will be provided to the engineers for the same.

Launching the system, NRA Chief Executive Officer, Yubraj Bhusal, said the system will help to know the progress made in reconstruction sector.

Bhusal said, “This system will help to make reconstruction transparent and accountable. The central office will receive the information uploaded by the engineers from working site and the central office will get all information regarding situation of reconstruction. It is believed that the system will help to expedite the reconstruction process.”
