In order to bring in efficiency and sustainability, around twelve states have enforced Service Guarantee Act. This ensures that the government departments deliver their services in a time-bound manner. If a delivery is delayed beyond stipulated period then a penalty will be paid to the consumer.

We created Delhi Geo Spatial Act 2011, which has made mandatory for all users of land departments to use the Delhi State Spatial Data and also update it. Basically, the purpose is that whatever data is collected will remain there and its updation will be sustainable. So the data will be there and we can use this data for our applications.
