CHHATTISGARH has achieved a remarkable national-level milestone in the ‘Bhu-Gram’ (Stage-III) campaign, which is being implemented for the transparent monitoring and digitisation of rural assets under the Viksit BharatGuarantee for Rozgar & Ajeevika Mission- Gramin (VB G RAM G). Despite challenges such as the rugged terrain of remote forest regions and limited network connectivity, Chhattisgarh has successfully completed the geo-tagging of 99.34 percent of its assets. According to a report released by the Union Ministry of Rural Development covering the period up to September 24, 2026, geo-tagging has been completed for a record 1,182,480 out of the total 1,190,327 assets created in Chhattisgarh.

 

Chhattisgarh has performed significantly better than the national average in terms of geo-tagging. Out of a total of 32,391,318 assets created across the country, 30,149,345 have been geo-tagged, resulting in a national average of 93.08 percent. By achieving a figure of 99.34 percent, Chhattisgarh has solidified its position among the top States in the country. The task of geo-tagging was particularly complex in remote forest tracts, hilly regions, and areas with poor network connectivity, especially within the Bastar and Surguja divisions. Nevertheless, this success was achieved through the coordination of field staff, Panchayat representatives, and technical personnel. GIS mapping under the ‘Bhu-Gram’ initiative is bolstering transparency and real-time monitoring in rural development activities.
