Kadepur Gram Panchayat in Sangli district earned a gold award under grassroots e-governance initiatives for expanding digital citizen services to rural households. Projects included online property tax payments, agricultural scheme registrations and telemedicine kiosk scheduling.
Panchayat leaders trained local youth as digital ambassadors visiting farmers uncomfortable with smartphones. Satellite connectivity upgrades helped villages where fiber rollout lagged behind urban centers.
Evaluators highlighted measurable reductions in travel time to taluka offices for routine approvals. Sustainability plans depend on state funding continuity beyond award cycles.
