Ahmedabad leads revenue reforms through tech-driven governance
Ahmedabad in Gujarat is doing a great job using technology to make government services better and faster.
They have made land records digital, so farmers can check them online.
They also have online systems for getting permissions and paying for land.
The government has set up special camps to solve problems quickly.
They use drones to make property records and give people ownership cards.
All these changes make it easier for people to get the services they need without going to government offices many times.
This is all part of making the government work better for the people, just like a former leader, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, wanted.
Ahmedabad district has implemented technology-driven governance reforms to improve revenue administration.
E-Dhara 2.0 has digitized land records, allowing farmers to access them online with QR codes.
The i-ORA portal has made non-agricultural permissions and land purchase approvals completely online.
The Revenue Seva Setu campaign organized night meetings and special camps to resolve long-pending land cases.
The SVAMITVA scheme used drone surveys to create legal property records for rural households.
