ITANAGAR: The Arunachal Pradesh Rural Development Department on Thursday began an eight-day State level training-cum-workshop on 'Software for Estimate Calculation Using Rural Rates for Employment (SECURE)', under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA scheme, at the State Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (SIRD&PR) here.
SECURE is a web-based application through which estimates of works taken up under Mahatma Gandhi NREGA are prepared and approvals for technical and administrative sanctions are taken online.
The workshop was divided in three batches. The first batch which started on Thursday comprised six districts including Papumpare, Lower Subansiri, Kurung Kumey, Kra Daadi, Upper Subansiri and Kamle, an official communiqué informed.
The participants for the training are the officers who basically deal with preparation of estimates at the district and block level, such as Assistant Project Officer, Technical Assistance (DRDA) and Extension Officer (RE).
Rural Development Director Kego Jilen in his address highlighted the importance of training on new application and urged all the participants to be attentive throughout the session.
He also requested all the officials present to be dedicated towards their work and reiterate the mantra that the success of every programme depends on team effort and assured to provide all the assistance at his disposal.
Assistant Project Officer (Tech) J D Prasad in a Power Point Presentation briefed on the history behind the implementation of SECURE and on the advantage of using the application.
SECURE State Nodal Officer Pisa Nongte provided a thorough online training on how to prepare estimates for work under MGNREGA using the SECURE application, the communiqué added.
