NHAI Integrates 1,467 Projects into Bhoomi Rashi Portal

22 Dec 2023 CW Team

In a move towards digital transformation, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has integrated 1,467 projects into the Bhoomi Rashi portal. This strategic initiative is designed to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the execution and monitoring of road and highway projects across the country.

The Bhoomi Rashi portal serves as a centralised platform for real-time monitoring and management of land acquisition-related activities for infrastructure projects. By incorporating a substantial number of NHAI projects into this digital portal, the authority aims to streamline processes, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and ensure effective utilization of resources.

The integration of NHAI projects into the Bhoomi Rashi portal is expected to bring about greater visibility and accessibility of project-related information. This move aligns with the government's broader agenda of leveraging technology to bring about transparency and efficiency in public infrastructure projects, contributing to the overall development of the nation's road and highway network.

As India continues to invest in its infrastructure, the NHAI's adoption of digital tools like the Bhoomi Rashi portal reflects a commitment to modernising project management practices, fostering accountability, and ultimately ensuring the timely and successful execution of crucial road and highway initiatives.
