E-Arzi portal to streamline citizens' applications: DC Srinagar
Srinagar · January 2022 to February 2026 · Digital governance
Three applications launched across three districts to take applications, grievances and works monitoring online.

Applications and grievances to the district administration were handled on paper, and progress on development works was reported through periodic returns rather than in real time.
In Kulgam, the Madadgar mobile application (January 2022) as part of the district's Digital India initiative. In Srinagar, the E-Arzi applications-management portal (October 2024) alongside an online grievance portal and WhatsApp chatbots. In Budgam, the e-Nigrani application (February 2026), a Constituency Development Management Information System for real-time monitoring of works.
Each platform was launched by the district administration and operated by its offices; E-Arzi was cited at his Srinagar farewell as one of the tenure's citizen-facing tools.
Applications, grievances and works monitoring available online in the three districts. Detailed usage figures were not published in the sources available.
