The Jharkhand government has initiated a geo-tagging system to monitor and manage its road construction projects, aiming to improve transparency and efficiency.
The state of Jharkhand has rolled out a geo-tagging initiative to track its ongoing road construction projects across the region.
Under the new system, each construction site will be assigned a precise GPS coordinate, allowing officials to monitor progress, budget usage and compliance in real time.
The move is expected to curb cost overruns, reduce corruption and enable quicker decision‑making by providing a digital map of all road works.
Jharkhand’s administration says the program is part of a broader push to digitise infrastructure projects and improve accountability to taxpayers.
