eGov|July 2018 - Haridwar

As Haridwar prepares for Maha Kumbh 2021, a congregation of millions of devotees seeking to take a holy dip in the Ganges river, the city administration has plans to develop this city into a spiritual hub. Driven by innovation and empowered by technology, the authorities here wish to present the place to the devotees in a new Avatar, observes Sandeep Datta of Elets News Network (ENN).

The endeavour is to offer a distinct experience of this holy city. So that it renders an enhanced spiritual experience to the devotees set to throng the place from not just India but world over.

Be it political leadership or the civic administration, a complete makeover of facilities through modern technologies is being mulled.

Haridwar – The City of Faith

Worshipped by millions of Hindus and people of all faiths, the mere mention of river Ganges takes one’s thoughts to Haridwar, the holy city located in the heart of Uttarakhand in north India.

Usually, thousands of people arrive in this city every day to absolve themselves of all sins and achieve salvation following a religious belief existing since time immemorial.

According to administrative officials, the grand occasion has also brought multi-dimensional opportunities for not just the government machinery but the industry as well.

As for companies, an impressive performance in Haridwar during a big occasion like Maha Kumbh would be a huge opportunity to earn lots of accolades and a potential of being replicated at other places during occasions of similar scale.

The endeavour is to change the user experience of the people coming to the ‘Gateway to Gods- Haridwar’. The vision involves rendering all necessary services with the help of technology and innovation and efforts are on even if it takes drastically changing landscape of the city.

It is felt an infrastructure upgradation is the need of the hour. Work has been commenced on both the soft components and the infrastructure projects as well.

Administrative Vision at a Glance

The Haridwar administration feels as a lot of infrastructures were created during previous Kumbhs (that happen before Maha Kumbh) in Haridwar, it helped the city quite effectively in the following years during other religious occasions.
