Photo khench, mantralaya bhej (click a picture, send to the ministry), is the new mantra of the rural development ministry as it gears up to digitally monitor the creation of all durable assets under its various social sector schemes across the country. The ministry is planning to rope in an IT company that will geotag each unit house built under the rural housing scheme and upload it on the ministrys website. This will help the government, which puts in three-fourths of the money into the scheme, monitor implementation as well as ensure there is no duplication. The move is in sync with the Narendra Modi-led NDA governments style of functioning that puts an emphasis on use of digital media to ensure transparency in the system and could prove critical for tracking step-by-step progress of the scheme as it moves to meet the target of housing for all by 2022.
