with the prior planning to the last possible detail, a lot of wastage of time and money was averted.
Especially logistics plan helped avoid lot of chaos and wastage of election officials time.
Easily Implementable
Mainly centered on using the available resources in the most efficient manner. Touches every aspect of the election exercise. The innovation made using the ICT are fairly simple ones to replicate and given the expertise of Gadchiroli in conducting elections, the required training is always at hand in the form of experienced elections officials from the district.
the voting percentage in Gadchiroli turned out to be 67% in the Assembly elections of 2009, which is way better than achieved in the metro cities like Mumbai, Pune, Thane and Nagpur. There was least number of incidents of naxal disruptions during the election.
Not even a single election official was hurt due naxal violence or otherwise.
Successful implementation
The confidence generated in one election carried on to the successful completion of other elections and in the just conducted Vidhan Parishad elections in November 2010, the polling percentage went up as high 87%
