Water for all, water for ever · સૌ માટે પાણી, સદા માટે પાણી
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગSeven things that shaped every screen in this presentation. Nothing on this slide is about us.
A wing of the Narmada, Water Resources, Water Supply and Kalpasar Department; the masthead carries the parent's bilingual name.
Kalpasar in studies and approvals; the Bhadbhut Barrage under construction since 15-10-2020. Two tenses.
Steering Council; Empowered Committee; Committee for Executive Functions; Expert Advisory Group, reconstituted 25-07-2024.
Sardar Bhavan, Gandhinagar; PIU-1, Bhavnagar; PIU-2, Vadodara; Bhadbhut Project Circle, Bharuch.
About 37 by national institutes: the Department's strongest public evidence of due diligence.
60.13 km dyke, 7,807 MCM, about 10 lakh hectares; Bhadbhut 1,648 m, 90 gates. Each held once, with source and date.
The name evokes a lake that fulfils every wish. સૌ માટે પાણી, સદા માટે પાણી.
A Secretariat wing, two Project Implementation Units and a Project Circle, in four cities. Sketch, not to scale.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગThe present website was built for the Department to publish. The new website is built for the public to find.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગEveryday tasks, each two or three clicks from go-live. Phase 1, delivered at go-live
| The citizen's task | Today, measured 23-09-2026 | From day one |
|---|---|---|
| Read any page in Gujarati | One placeholder page | Every page, in official terminology, reviewed by the Department before publication |
| Learn how far the Bhadbhut Barrage has come | External portal, behind a login | A home-page card with an "as on" date; two clicks to component status |
| Download a Government Resolution by its subject | Two separate lists, one undated | One register, filterable, searchable in Gujarati and English, inside the PDF text as well |
| Find the officer to call about the Bhadbhut circle | Two officer tables | One directory, one record per post, downloadable |
| Use the site with a screen reader | PDFs partly accessible | Designed to WCAG 2.1 AA; an accessible-document pipeline for every new upload |
| Load the home page on a 4G phone | About 9.8 MB | Under 1.5 MB on a first visit, a design target measured by the same method |
Also from day one: RTI in Gujarati with per-office disclosures; a tenders register with closing dates and automatic archive; an FAQ, the GIL-provided assistant, and feedback with a reference number. The full table is in the hand-over notes.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગOption 1 · Option 2 · Option 3 (વિકલ્પ ૧ · વિકલ્પ ૨ · વિકલ્પ ૩) on one compliant skeleton; the Department chooses a direction, not a shade of blue. Demo: kalpasar-website-demo.pages.dev



Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગProgress becomes something the Department publishes on its own domain, with the date it was reviewed.

Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગThe answer comes first, in Gujarati, in the citizen's own terms; the engineering is one click below.

Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગThe direction a Secretary recognises within seconds, executed cleanly, with the documents and registers a department relies on.

Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગWhat this Department has to keep current, and who (આ વિભાગે શું અદ્યતન રાખવાનું છે, અને કોણે)
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગHindi through Bhashini, with departmental review; the GIL-provided assistant, integrated by us.
lang="gu" on every Gujarati element, so screen readers switch voiceText and voice in English, Gujarati and Hindi through Bhashini, hosted in the State Data Centre, without conversation history or human hand-off, as the pre-bid responses set out. What we add: every answer links to a page on the site. Search is ours: in Phase 1, keyword search with relevance ranking, synonyms and Gujarati handling, over pages and inside PDF text, with voice input through the Bhashini speech service; natural-language search is on the roadmap.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગThe design system and the standards it is built on. What switched in the browser was the design direction; what never switched is everything below.
The State Emblem and the bilingual department name · the Kalpasar emblem · the utility strip (skip link, screen reader, text size, theme, language) · the footer policy set · the accessibility panel · the language switch, all in the same place.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગThe six sections the tender names, quoted as written, on top; our nine sections beneath, three levels at most, anything within three clicks.
Performance and Purposes live under each project, where the public looks for them (the pages marked in brown); Policies and Rules are registers under Documents and under Tenders and Notices. Audience doors sit beside the primary navigation, not in place of it. Every landing page carries real content. Sitemap and template approval is the first sign-off, on day 15.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગInside the State Data Centre, on open standards, so the site outlives any vendor, including us.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગA safe move onto a supported platform inside the State Data Centre; every page, document and address carried across and reconciled.
Source code, database and files handed over through GIL. A read-only reference copy on our side, never exposed, destroyed at acceptance.
Reconciliation by counts and by checksums after every run; a migration report signed by both sides at go-live, listing counts and exceptions.
A permanent redirect for every page, document and image path, including /contact-0 and /overview-1; a daily report of missed addresses for 90 days after go-live.
A pipeline for every new upload from day one; the existing set of about 74 documents converted on the count agreed at SRS, scanned Gujarati resolutions first; the register shows what remains.
Each project figure held once with its source and as-on date, reused on every page in every language; where two published sources differ, the Department settles the figure once and every page follows.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગThe security sequence has named dates and named owners, and it does not end at go-live.
GSDC request raised through the Department at kick-off; confirmed by T+15.
CERT-In empanelled auditor engaged; audit window booked; reserve auditor identified.
Build frozen on our own staging; internal OWASP scan completed before the auditor begins.
Safe-to-host report; installation at GSDC from the audited configuration, checksum compared; HTTPS, IPv6.
Go-live and operational acceptance; source code handed over within 5 days.
STQC and GIGW audit through GIL's empanelled agency; findings fixed within the patch windows.
Two remediation rounds planned inside T+60 to T+80. If the report is late, beta and acceptance testing continue on the audited staging and GSDC installation follows within one working day of the report.
Vulnerabilities announced by an OEM patched within 15 days if high or critical and 30 days otherwise, in consultation with the GSDC composite team · nightly backups, a restore rehearsal before go-live and every quarter · an external availability probe every minute · a 24x7 telephone and e-mail channel with a ticket number for every request · a written change note with a rollback step for every production change.
OWASP Top 10 controls · hashed and salted passwords · a second factor for every publishing and administrative role · self-hosted captcha with an accessible alternative · malware scan on every upload · security headers and a content security policy that allow-lists only the GIL assistant origin · no third-party tracking script anywhere · Drupal 11 on PHP 8.3, a supported platform with published advisories, which is what makes the patch windows achievable.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગNamed dates, not adjectives; then twelve months of maintenance with written service levels the dashboard evidences.
Weekly status meeting at the Department facility; a fortnightly update round in which we ask if nothing has arrived; monthly service report; quarterly self-assessment and restore rehearsal.
Critical: acknowledged within 30 minutes, resolved within 24 hours. High: 2 hours and one working day. Medium: 4 working hours and 2 working days. Content: drafted within 2 working days, urgent notices the same day.
Availability target 99.5 per cent a month, measured by an external probe and reported monthly. Feature enhancements scoped within 5 working days and delivered through the same workflow, inside the maintenance year.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગEach item is small, and each has a fallback, so that a late item does not stop the work.
| Item | By | If it is late |
|---|---|---|
| Names of the nodal officer, the Web Information Manager and the two or three content-system users | T+5 | Roles are created with placeholders and renamed at training |
| Source code, database and files of the present site, through GIL | T+5 | The crawl-based inventory keeps the SRS on T+15; database mapping shifts day for day inside the slack before dry run 2 |
| Sitemap and template approval: Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3 | T+15 | Build proceeds on the recommended template; a later switch requires no rework |
| GSDC virtual machine, VPN accounts, addresses and SSL certificate, requested through the Department at kick-off | T+15 | Beta and acceptance testing run on the audited staging; the production install is a one-day import |
| Bhashini access and the assistant embed specification, through GIL | T+30 · T+45 | Hindi runs against a sandbox glossary; the assistant placeholder is wired and finalised on receipt |
Content upload of every page, document and image in the first 90 days is ours; the Department reviews section by section on the staging site and approves. The full list, including the mail relay for the delay alerts, is in the hand-over notes.
Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગBuilt inside the same 90 days on the same content store where they fit; the rest phased honestly, at the Department's option.
Nothing labelled roadmap is presented as delivered. SMS delay alerts are offered the same way, once the Department provides gateway access.

Kalpasar Department કલ્પસર પ્રભાગ| Standard | How the website is built to it, and what is delivered |
|---|---|
| GIGW 3.0 | Built to the MUST and SHOULD guidelines; the GIGW 3.0 conformity matrix maintained from T+15; our own certificate of GIGW compliance with the matrix, the policy pages and the accessibility test report at T+80; the STQC / GIGW audit through GIL's empanelled agency after transfer, borne by the Department as stated in the pre-bid response; the indication on the home page linked to the certificate once issued. |
