The Story: The Vasai model is a very simple model having elementary steps to enable a person with or without computer knowledge to effectively participate in their community activity. The idea here was to get the MP of Vasai to be active in the development of his area. All the local bodies such as the State Electricity board, Water Supply, Registrar's office & the city Municipal corporation were asked to participate in such a way that their programmes could be highlighted, the general public could post their suggestions/complaints etc.

The MP at any given time was in a position to monitor the progress of the complaints lodged by the people of his constituency. It was possible for him to interact in cases which were experiencing delays.

Pantoto was effectively deployed to deal with these problems. With Pantoto it was possible to keep track of people's complaints & the action taken by the respective local bodies. All these problems either pending or current were all monitored with ease at any given time.

Pantoto was also used to highlight other information eg. If there was a child with rare skills it was possible to get this to the notice of others in Vasai.
