Gov-Tech Initiatives
For Inclusive Governance
UMC’s Gov-Tech innovations are designed to make governance smarter, more transparent, and inclusive. From creating national databases to building e-learning platforms, our tools help governments serve citizens better, especially the most vulnerable.
UMC was the first ever to develop an E-Learning portal for the Swachh Bharat Mission in 2015, setting a national precedent in digital capacity building.
Beneficiary Management
System (BMS)
Introducing BMS, UMC's pioneering Gov-Tech solution built with inclusivity at its core.
As part of the SHWAS (Sanitation Workers Health Welfare and Safety) application, this multilingual digital platform streamlines the identification and profiling of population segments including vulnerable populations, ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve.
With successful deployments in Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and ongoing expansions nationwide and in Bangladesh, BMS embodies UMC's mission to make cities work for everyone.
Employer
Management
System (EMS)
The Employer Management System (EMS) complements the BMS by focusing on sanitation service providers, especially Private Sanitation Service Organisations (PSSOs). Its objective is to ensure that employers follow fair practices, maintain proper records, and provide safe working conditions for all sanitation workers.
EMS enables local governments to register PSSOs, list the machines and workers employed, monitor attendance, and ensure timely digital wage payments. Employers can also report on provision of PPE, training, EPF, ESIC and other safety measures, helping ULBs enforce labour and safety standards.
This system is actively being used by state and local governments in Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and under the national NAMASTE framework, making it a vital tool for improving the lives of thousands of sanitation workers across India.
Knowledge Portal/U-LEARN
Building Digital Capacity for Urban India
U-LEARN is UMC’s flagship e-learning platform developed to enhance institutional knowledge across India’s urban governance ecosystem. In 2015, we partnered with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) to launch one of India’s first government e-learning portals under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban, aimed at training block and district officials in sanitation and service delivery.
In 2018, UMC expanded the platform to support Self-Help Groups (SHGs), offering training in enterprise development, financial literacy, and livelihoods.U-LEARN 2.0 is a mobile-accessible, multilingual portal offering over 50 e-learning courses and 30+ training videos for DAY-NULM and SBM-U functionaries and community members. It provides certified, self-paced learning through case studies, video tutorials, and practical guides, empowering a digitally equipped urban workforce.
