Envisioning Smart Real Estate Digital Infrastructure for Madhya Pradesh

Abstract

The Urban Development and Housing Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh, brought forth and implemented the Madhya Pradesh Real Estate Policy, 2019, to give an impetus to the real estate sector in the state. Considering the changes recommended in the policy document, a draft framework has been designed under the ‘Smart Real Estate Digital Infrastructure’ for streamlining the workflow of approvals for any real estate project. It recommends an interoperable framework for real estate services through a Single Window Environment and thereby help achieve a high level of ease of doing business in the sector. The environment is designed and articulated for public agencies and the technology community (enterprises/start-ups) - ensuring e-Governance systems, disaster recovery management systems, and inter-departmental operational processes which currently operate in silos. An e-Governance service would be a change agent which supports citizens, businesses, and the innovation ecosystems alike. The proposed composite Single Window portal professes the same. The objective of creating this environment is to fulfil citizen need/requirement by synchronising and orchestrating the data flow/interpretations between inter-departmental operations and processes. This digital infrastructure enables a service-oriented e-governance environment with a dedicated interoperable layer and the shared digital assets authenticated by Blockchain.
