Reminiscences on implementation from the war-room – The donation platform for Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund i FOREWORD The Chief Ministers Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF) is a unique e-governance application developed by Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT) as a part of the Chief Ministers Office (CMO) Suite. This is eventually envisaged as an integrated monitoring and decision support tool for innovative policy interventions. The donation portal was developed a sequel to the CMO suite in the context of the August’18 natural calamity and has contributed substantively to the efforts towards rebuilding Kerala. The effort was unique in that it could bring together several partner banks, partner technology companies, start-ups, and individuals many of whom worked pro-bono. The solution had withstood tough weather and has shown its metal. I am happy that the endeavour has been systematically documented so that the product could be evaluated and further improved.
