                      generation” and from “Employees entry to exit”. It is a customized ERP where End-to-
                      End Integration is possible.
                    Mobile  Apps  supporting  Android  and  iOS  have  also  been  developed  for  easy
                      accessibility of the E-governance system through smart phones.
                    Other processes where automation and digitization is used are biometric presence of

                    Additionally, CHARUSAT had developed two e-systems viz. Centralized Data Base
                      (CDB  system)  and  CHARUNIDHI  (Charusat  Digital  Repository)  to  manage  and
                      retrieve the data generated through various contributions (curricular and extra- and co-
