These applications  are  collectively  called  Panchayat  Enterprise  Suite  (PES)  which  address planning, budgeting, implementation, accounting, monitoring, social audit and delivery of citizen services like issue of certificates, licences, etc. These applications are available to all the Gram Panchayats.
