TR-20 : Identification of hydroenvironmental indices

Abstract

This piece of work is aimed at design and implementation of a Management Information System Package for the employees of National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee. This utility package computerizes the whole process of payroll accounting and personal information.

The tasks performed by this package are:

i) Validation of incoming raw data (available on disk), its organisation and thereby creation of three master files i.e. one for personal record of the employees, one for salary and other entitlements and the third for recoveries to be made from the pay.

ii) Information retrieval from the three master flies.

iii) Maintenance of the three master files.

The first task is done by software routine which performs various checks for validation of data in all records. After checking the data for validity, it creates the three master files. The second task is performed by retrieving information from the three master files, for the preparation of payroll. The third task is twofold. In the first step, the data to be used for updating the master files is validated. In step-2 a maintenance routine is used which reads the entries of the master files and updation file and correspondingly modifies the three sequential master files.

In brief, the work provides a useful accounting package for NIH which will be integrated with a larger software package to implemented complete Management Information System for NIH.
