Web based Personnel Management Information System for Indian Council of Agricultural Research

Abstract

With the increasing population pressure throughout the nation and the concomitant need for increased agricultural production there is a definite need for improved management of the resources as well as of the personnel who are deployed for making it possible through the new agricultural research programs. So management of personnel in any organization is a very important and continuous activity for the managers. This task becomes even more tedious when the organization is spreaded over the whole country and the information is to be collected from each of its branches. This paper describes a web-based Personnel Management Information System for such an organization -The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), to improve and fasten the basis for its management related decisions and serve as an online data bank holding the complete personal and professional information of its each employee. This system extends and exploits the advanced information technologies to develop tools for the management of personnel. The information is extracted and processed from a central database with web access. The user interface has been developed without complicated query specifications to the database. Rather, user receives relevant, up-to-date information processed from large amounts of data.
