information on a national scale, acts a hub for information exchange between states and with externalagencies and serves the information, analysis and reporting needs of MHA. CAS (Centre) would bedeployed at NCRB. Relevant input, output and report formats and processing requirements would beincluded as per the requirements of GOI/ GOI Agencies. CAS (Center) would cover the followingindicative functionality:a. Interfaces with States to receive, gather, extract, collate and organize crime- andcriminals-related datab.

CAS(Centre) would also share the results of their analysis with States and UnionTerritories.c. Interfaces with external entities such as Passports, Immigration to receive and sharedata with them.The CAS will be built for the GOI (with NCRB coordinating on behalf of MHA) for the minimumcommon functionality that is common across the States/ UTs and falls under the scope of CCTNS.The CAS shall be provided, along with its source code, to the States, for configuration,customization, enhancement and maintenance by the States (through the Systems Integrators to bechosen by the States). The CAS must be parameterized to accommodate the configurations requiredfor each State with respect to the common functions. The CAS has to be built as a platformindependentapplication so that it is easily portable across platforms i.e. the application should beportable across hardware, operating systems, database systems, enterprise platforms etc. It isenvisaged that CAS would be a web application based on hybrid architecture, designed to operate inlow bandwidth and/or unreliable connectivity scenarios. It is further envisaged that the CAS would bebased on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to enable reuse of basic services.3.1 Outline of Scope of Services around CAS (State)The following are the indicative primary functions that will be undertaken by the SDA:1. Application Development of CAS (State)i. Conduct System Study/ Field Study for assessment and requirements gathering.11
