Dr Mahesh ChandraOur Tributes
To the Man Behind the National Success
of the Mission Mode National Transport Computerization Project

            Dr Mahesh Chandra

 

Dr Mahesh Chandra, who had led the Mission Mode National Transport Computerization Project from the very inception to its establishment as a spectacular success on a national scale, passed away on February 27, 2022. He was the guiding spirit behind all aspects of the Project. A whole generation of NIC ICT professional learnt the art of large project formulation, implementation and management from him.

 He ia also the person who conceptualized this newsletter and christened it NextMile.

He was a man of great knowledge and authority who could identify the qualities in the people who worked under him and put these qualities to effective use in the work at hand. A sensitive and kind-hearted person, he will be remembered with respect, admiration and gratitude by all those who had the privilege of association with him. We pray for the eternal peace of his departed soul.

EDITOR’s NOTE

This issue carries the sad news of the passing away of Dr Mahesh Chandra who had led the National Transport Computerization Project and had been its guiding spirit since its inception right up to its culmination as a national success story. We pay tribute to this greatly admired and respected technocrat and mentor.

We bring you a Services Profile on the Uttrakhand applications for the Char Dham Yatra 2022. We have a Special Feature on the CM-TRANS from Assam which showcase the advent of a new Transport application module as a result of the keen involvement and personal inputs of the Assam Chief Minister.
