Gujarat: Digital Asset Monitoring Portal Launched

Gandhinagar, Mar 10 (PTI) More than 1.5 lakh public assets and infrastructure in Gujarat will be monitored via Asset Safety Monitoring Portal, officials said on Tuesday.

All existing government and public infrastructure in Gujarat, including roads, bridges, and buildings will be monitored in an integrated manner at the state level, ensuring that no infrastructure becomes a threat to the safety of citizens, an official release said.

A government directive was recently issued by the General Administration Department (GAD) regarding this decision.

According to the directive, more than 1.5 lakh assets, including roads, bridges, government buildings, and other civic infrastructure across the state will be registered on a single centralized digital platform, as per the release.


Geographic Information System (GIS)-based location mapping, photographs, details of the custodian officer, and a unique digital identity - this comprehensive system will ensure scientific and continuous monitoring of the lifespan of assets, it added.

Under the Asset Safety Monitoring Portal, field officers will upload inspection reports and photographs on the integrated portal through digital login. District collectors and municipal corporation commissioners will be required to conduct weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews, the release stated.

In-charge secretaries will issue necessary directives during their district visits. The administrative machinery at every level will work through a single unified digital system, it added.

The dedicated Asset Safety Monitoring Cell established within the GAD will conduct daily monitoring at the state level and submit regular reports to the Chief Secretary.

Through the Asset Safety Monitoring Portal, the Bhupendra Patel government has initiated a mechanism to ensure that no structural weakness, inspection delay, or repair requirement is overlooked. An automated inspection calendar and real-time alert system will compel the administrative machinery to take timely action, the release noted.
