IP technology empowers Gujarat

AHMEDABAD: Banking on the largest IP based e-governance in Gujarat, Talatis

in local Panchayats are now empowered to issue documents at the local level

using the G-SWAN (Gujarat State Wide Area Network) technology. Chief Minister

Narendra Modi dedicated the E-Gram pilot project at Timbi village of Umrala

taluka in Bhavnagar district.

He emphasized that the initiative will uplift the villages and bring in

revolution. Initially 32 villages of Bhavnagar will be covered under the pilot

project. The Talatis are given power to verify and issue documents that comes

under their authority and power without bothering to send the documents to the

state capital, Gandhinagar.

This will save considerable time of file work that usually marked all the

government procedures. This includes issuance of certificates of day-to-day use,

documents of right of ownership, and other service-related information through

computer connectivity and databank in collaboration with G-SWAN. Apart from

this, the process of tax collection and payments has also been fully

computerized which will ensure transparency.
