1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Project Implementation Plan is to provide a detailed approach for implementing the
Central Portal for Desludging Services under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban). The system is designed
to streamline desludging service requests, manage assets, and provide seamless communication
between urban local bodies, service providers, and citizens.

1.2 System Overview

This Central Portal will serve as a unified platform to enable and monitor desludging services across
various urban regions. It will allow users to request desludging services, monitor operations, and
maintain transparency.

System Description
Service Requests: Citizens can raise service requests for desludging.
Scheduling and Dispatching: Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) will schedule and dispatch service providers.
Asset Management: Track vehicles, equipment, and service delivery status.
Billing and Payments: Automate invoicing and payments.
Reporting and Analytics: Provide dashboards for ULBs to monitor performance and service delivery.

1.2.1 Assumptions and Constraints

 Schedule: The project must be completed within six months from the start date.
 Budget: The implementation must remain within the allocated budget approved by the
government.
 Resource Availability: Skilled developers, system analysts, and network administrators must be
available during the implementation phase.
 Technology Constraints: The platform will use a PHP-based framework (CodeIgniter) with
MySQL as the database.
 Integration Constraints: The portal must integrate with existing city-level systems and
databases, such as citizen services and billing systems.

System Organization
The system will include:
 Web Interface: Accessible by citizens, ULB officials, and service providers.
 Database: MySQL to store service requests, asset details, and service histories.
 API Layer: For communication between the Central Portal and external systems such as
municipal databases.
 User Authentication Module: Role-based access control for different stakeholders.

portal maintenance, regular updates, and data migration. They will also be trained in bug fixing and
adding new features.
Courses will be provided in the sequence of installation, support, and maintenance. The training schedule will
be set before the system's deployment phase. Vendors for third-party tools, if used, will also provide course
content.
subsection of the Project Implementation Plan addresses the training, if any, necessary to prepare staff
for implementing the system; it does not address user training, which is the subject of the Software
Training Plan.

3.3 Outstanding Issues

At this stage, no major outstanding issues have been identified. However, the following potential issues
are to be monitored:
 Data Migration Delays: Transfer of legacy data from existing systems into the new system may
present challenges due to the large volume of data.
 Security Protocols: Ensuring full compliance with national data protection laws could slow
implementation if unforeseen issues arise with data privacy requirements.
Further details will be tracked as the project progresses.
Implementation Impact
The implementation of the Central Portal for Desludging Services is expected to impact the following
areas:
 Network Infrastructure: Increased load due to real-time service requests, database queries, and
reports generation. Scalability measures are in place to handle peak loads.
 Support Staff: Additional resources will be required for technical support during the early adoption
phases.
 User Community: Users will have easier access to desludging services, increasing transparency
and accountability.
