Gurugram: The Gurugram municipal corporation has begun the ambitious target of making sure that lakhs of properties residential and commercial will now have an identity.
The survey for the process has already started. If implemented well this will streamline the process of homeowners and shopowners to avail all the government services online. It is also expected to curtail the corrupt practices where a large number of residential units after getting the occupation certificate were converting into commercial units and inturn causing losses to the government exchequer.
For the implementation of the process, the Municipal Corporation has begun the process of giving the circulars to the employees wherein it has urged the citizens to provide the relevant information pertaining to their properties. The process has been outsourced to the agency that will be taking the information from the residents. There will be no fee that will be levied in the process of gathering the information.
"There is a requirement of transparency and the greater penetration of the internet and technology has made our lives easier in achieving this outcome. It will now be easy for the residents to track all the detail relating to their properties once this project is implemented fully," said a senior official from MCG.
The project of giving each property in the city identification is seen as an extension of the process where every family in Haryana will also be given an I -card by the state government.
Providing the detail of the project District Commissioner Amit Khatri said that a first of its project that is going to be implemented in any state Gurugram will be taking a lead. The senior public official highlighted that by issuing this I-card the government will be able to not only identify its residents better but it will also aid them in the dispensation of public services more effectively.
Once implemented the official site that it will enable them to reduce pilferage in providing government services and also help them in getting to know the citizen needs and provide the services to them.
The project which is just in its initial stages will contain more detail locally than what actually is provided in other forms of registration like the Aadhar. A pilot project has kickstarted with the participation and registration of public officials.
"There is still a lot of corruption and problems of service delivery in government services. The state I card will be an effective medium in allowing us to know the citizens and thereby providing the services. These services will be for the use of the state government," said a senior public official.
