MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621009010 A) filed by Dr. Seema Nikalje, Jalna, Maharashtra, on Jan. 29, for 'rural development performance optimization system (rdpos) and method using multi-index computational engine and digital decision-support platform.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Seema Nikalje.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention provides a computer-implemented system (100) and method for rural development performance optimization, configured to evaluate and optimize the performance of voluntary agencies engaged in rural development activities. The system comprises a data processing architecture configured to compute a plurality of quantifiable performance indices, including Voluntary Agency Infrastructure (VAI), Community Engagement Index (CEI), Sustainable Development Impact (SDI), Collaboration Performance Indicator (CPI), Rural Development Innovation (RDI), and Environmental Resource Integration (ERI). The indices are calculated using weighted computational algorithms and integrated through a composite scoring engine to generate a unified rural development performance score. The system further includes a digital decision-support interface configured to provide automated analytics, real-time dashboards, and performance assessment outputs, thereby enabling scalable, measurable, and evidence-based evaluation and optimization across regions and sectors."
