Context: The central government plans to geo-tag all buildings (residential and non-residential) in the Census 2027.
Relevance of the Topic: Prelims: Concept of geo-tagging, Geo-tagging and governance.
What is Geo-Tagging ?
Geo-tagging is the process of assigning precise latitude and longitude coordinates to a physical asset, building, or location and linking it to a Geographical Information System (GIS) map.
It digitally pins a structure or object to its exact place on a map allowing it to be identified, verified, and monitored in real time.
Historical Context and Present Use in India:
In India, geo-tagging has been used in government schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (PMAY), MGNREGA assets, and other development programmes to ensure transparency and accountability in asset creation.
For the first time in Census 2027 the government plans to geo-tag all residential and non-residential buildings across the country.
Geo-Tagging in Census 2027:
Enumerators will geo-tag each building within its Houselisting Block (HLB) using a Digital Layout Mapping (DLM) system. This is a departure from earlier censuses, where hand-drawn notional maps were prepared. Now, layout maps will be automatically generated from geo-tagged building data.
Census 2027 will beIndia’s first fully digital census using mobile applications, self-enumeration options, and real-time monitoring through the Census Monitoring & Management System (CMMS).
Benefits of Geo-Tagging:
Accuracy in Enumeration: Geo-tagging will ensure that all buildings are mapped and counted, reducing the chances of omission or duplication.
Transparency and Accountability: Digitally tagged assets reduce the possibility of ghost entries and fraudulent claims.
Policy Formulation: Real-time and location-specific data on housing, amenities, and population distribution will strengthen evidence-based policymaking.
Disaster Management and Urban Planning: A geo-tagged housing database can aid in evacuation, rehabilitation, and planning for infrastructure and civic services.
Integration with Other Digital Initiatives: Geo-tagging complements initiatives like Digital India, GIS-based governance, and the Smart Cities Mission creating a unified digital governance framework.
Challenges in Geo-Tagging:
Privacy Concerns: Citizens may have apprehensions about the government mapping and digitally storing the exact location of their homes.
Digital Divide: Rural and remote areas with weak internet and digital infrastructure may face difficulties in real-time geo-tagging.
Data Security: Protecting sensitive location data from cyber threats is a major challenge.
Geo-tagging is a crucial step towards e-governance and evidence-based administration in India. It will help bridge gaps between planning and implementation by providing precise, location-linked, and real-time data.
Context: UIDAI is set to launch a QR code-based App to enable Aadhaar updates from home with enhanced verification and data control.
Relevance of the Topic: Prelims: Key Features of QR code-based Aadhaar App.
Key Features of the New App
The QR based app will allow individuals to update their Aadhaar details from their homes.
Except for biometric updates like fingerprints or iris scans, most changes, including name, address, and mobile number will soon be possible online, using the App equipped with advanced verification protocols.
Authenticated government databases such as PAN, passport, driving licence, and PDS and MNREGA registries will be used to cross-verify user-submitted information.
The App enables secure QR code-based Aadhaar sharing offering users control over when and how their data is shared. E.g., while checking in at a hotel, the customers can share a full or masked version of their e-Aadhaar through secure, mobile-to-mobile channels, only with explicit consent.
The proposed App is expected to go live by the end of 2025.
Why is the QR-based Aadhaar App introduced ?
The QR-based Aadhaar app has been introduced to solve the following existing challenges in the Aadhaar update and usage ecosystem.
Digital Exclusion of Vulnerable Groups: 1 in 3 users struggled to update Aadhaar, and 20% failed to do so. 30% of homeless people and 27% of third-gender individuals lacked Aadhaar. Barriers include lack of documentation and gender misclassification, leading to denial of services and exclusion from welfare schemes.
Privacy and Consent Risks: Centralised linking of Aadhaar to multiple services raises data misuse and surveillance concerns.
Low Awareness and Low Digital Literacy: Aadhaar’s digital features continue to be underutilised. Many users, particularly in rural areas, rely on physical photocopies rather than e-Aadhaar.
Significance of QR-based Aadhaar App:
Empowers users to control their identity, dictate access, and minimise data exposure.
Can reduce paperwork and also help prevent the use of forged documents.
The government is also strengthening regulations on privacy, consent, and the responsible use of Aadhaar-linked personal data by amending the Aadhaar Actto align it with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023 with the aim to:
Provide users greater control over their data by emphasising data minimisation.
Provide the right to erasure - Users can request deletion of Aadhaar-linked data.
Prevent Aadhaar data reuse beyond the original purpose without fresh consent.
Context: Recently, the government has launched the UMEED portal to create a digital inventory after geo-tagging all Waqf properties.
Relevance of the Topic: Prelims: Key facts about UMEED portal; Waqf Act.
About UMEED Portal
UMEED is a centralised digital platform for real-time uploading, verification, and monitoring of Waqf properties.
UMEED is short for Unified Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development Act, 1995.
Initiative of: Ministry of Minority Affairs.
Key Features of the UMEED Portal:
Creation of a digital inventory with geo-tagging of all Waqf properties. It generates a 17-digit unique identification number for each property.
Online grievance redressal system for better responsiveness
Transparent leasing and usage tracking
Integration with GIS mapping and other e-Governance tools
Public access to verified records and reports
Mandatory Registration in the UMEED Portal
All Waqf properties across the country are required to be registered on the portal within 6 months from the date of launch (June 2025).
Registrations will be carried out by the respective state Waqf boards.
Properties that remain unregistered beyond the deadline, and extension (if any) will be classified as disputed and referred to the Waqf tribunal.
The portal will mandate submission of official documents for registering a Waqf property aiming to prevent the inclusion of illegal or encroached land.
For properties lacking such documentation, the mutawalli (manager or caretaker of a waqf) will be required to approach the waqf tribunal for verification.
The portal also includes a field that asks whether the waqf property is located on government land. Since land is a state subject, it will ultimately be up to the state government to confirm or deny whether the land in question is indeed waqf.
The portal launch comes in the backdrop of the enactment of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025, in April 2025.
Introduces greater transparency, accountability, and public participation in the administration of Waqf assets.
Ensures that every Waqf property is accounted for and used effectively for the endowed purpose, and in the benefit of poor Muslims.
UMEED Portal is expected to become the backbone of digital Waqf governance, ensuring that the Waqf assets contribute meaningfully to education, healthcare, livelihood generation and social welfare, especially for underprivileged sections within Muslim community.
Context:India is at the forefront of adopting AI in surveillance. Technological integration is a welcome move to modernise law enforcement, however, in the absence of suitable legal frameworks it might intersect with constitutional rights of citizens, particularly the right to privacy.
Relevance of the Topic: Mains: AI in surveillance- Challenges, Opportunities, Way Forward
Use of AI in Governance
In 2019, India announced its ambition to build the world’s largest facial recognition system for policing.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered surveillance systems have been deployed across railway stations and the Delhi Police is preparing to use AI for crime patrols.
Grants the government unchecked power to process personal data without the need for consent, when processing data for medical treatment during an epidemic, data related to employment etc.
Mandates citizens not to suppress any material information when submitting personal data. This provision (while intended to ensure data accuracy) could lead to punitive measures for something as simple as an outdated address or technical error in data collection systems.
Criticised for skewing power towards state surveillance over individual rights.
Absence of specific legislation for AI regulation, despite growing deployment of AI-powered systems.
Unregulated AI Usage:
India’s AI surveillance lacks clear guidelines on data collection, processing, storage, and usage and mechanisms to prevent abuse or discrimination.
Example: Deployment of facial recognition technologies in Delhi and Hyderabad without public risk assessments or legislative debate.
Risk of Overreach:
International experiences, such as the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), shows that surveillance laws can lead to overreach.
Expanding India’s AI surveillance infrastructure without sufficient safeguards risks violating constitutional principles of proportionality and legality.
Indian Context:
India’s surveillance capabilities are growing rapidly with plans for 50 AI-powered satellites and integration of AI in public systems.
Cases like Telangana Police data breach highlight the misuse of personal data collected through welfare schemes (E.g., “Samagra Vedika”).
Current frameworks fail to ensure transparency, judicial oversight, or accountability in data collection and AI deployment.
International Context:
European Union: EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act follows a risk-based approach:
Categorises AI applications as unacceptable, high, transparency, or minimal risk.
Prohibits real-time biometric identification for law enforcement, except under strict conditions.
United States: Surveillance laws like FISA offer lessons on the potential for overreach and the need for stringent safeguards.
Impact on Civil Liberties:
AI surveillance, without sufficient safeguards, might risk:
Privacy violations: Indiscriminate data collection threatens informational privacy.
Discrimination: Biased AI systems can exacerbate social inequalities.
Data breaches: Weak safeguards increase vulnerability to cyberattacks.
Conclusion: India stands at a critical juncture in deploying AI-powered surveillance. While technological advancements promise enhanced governance and law enforcement, they must be balanced against constitutional rights. A proactive regulatory approach that is aligned with international best practices can ensure that AI serves the public interest without compromising civil liberties.
Context: Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud announced that the Supreme Court is now “onboard” the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG) portal, a national repository of data relating to cases instituted, pending and disposed of by courts across the country.
National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG)
NJDG is a database of orders, judgments and case details of District & Subordinate Courts and High Courts created as an online platform under the eCourts Project. The NJDG was developed by the National Informatics Centre in collaboration with the Supreme Court's in-house software development team. It features an interactive interface and analytics dashboard to facilitate data analysis and reporting.
Features of NJDG
Data is updated on a near real-time basis by the connected District and Taluka courts.
It provides data relating to judicial proceedings/decisions of all computerized district and subordinate courts of the country.
All High Courts have joined the NJDG through web services, providing easy access facility to the litigant public.
Case data is available on NJDG for both civil and criminal cases with the ability to perform drill-down analysis based on the age of the case as well as the State and District.
Benefits of NJDG
Identification and Managemnt: NJDG works as a monitoring tool to identify, manage & reduce pendency of cases.
Inputs in Policy making: It helps to provide timely inputs for making policy decisions to reduce delays in disposing of cases and helps in reducing case pendency.
Performance Analysis: It also facilitates better monitoring of court performance and systemic bottlenecks, and, thus, serves as an efficient resource management tool.
Improvement in Enforcement of Contract: World Bank praised the National Judicial Data Grid in the Ease of Doing Business report for 2018, that it made possible to generate case management reports, thereby making it easier to enforce contracts.
Easy Access to Government: Open Application Programming Interface (API) has been provided to the Central & State Government to allow easy access to the NJDG data using a departmental ID and access key.
Future Prospect: Right now grid allows the institutional litigants to access the NJDG data for their evaluation and monitoring purposes. It is proposed to expand the facility to non-institutional litigants as well in future.
Inclusion of Reason for Delay: Recently, giving reasons for delay have been included in NJDG.
The inclusion of feature specifying the reasons for delay on the NJDG portal keep a proper track on issues which the judiciary faces while adjudicating cases and consequently enables them and the decision makers to take various steps in the direction of redressing the burgeoning pendency of cases.
Apart from that, individual reason for delay highlights the problems at a granular level, which otherwise would be cumbersome to be tracked upon and thereby remedied.
eCourt Project
The Government has launched the eCourts Integrated Mission Mode Project in the country for computerization of District and subordinate courts with the objective of improving access to justice using technology. As part of the National eGovernance Plan, the project is under implementation since 2007 for ICT development of the Indian Judiciary based on the “National Policy and Action Plan for Implementation of Information and Communication Technology in the Indian Judiciary”. eCourts project is being implemented in association with e-Committee Supreme Court of India and Department of Justice.
3-Phases
Phase I of the project was implemented during 2011-2015. Phase II of the project started in 2015-2023. In Phase 3, the system will be migrated to cloud technology and the cost estimated for providing 25 petabytes (according to existing requirements) of cloud storage is ₹1,205.20 crore.
Benefits of integration of Supreme Court to NJDG
Real-Time Access to Case Data:
The NJDG now provides real-time data on the filing and disposal of cases in the Supreme Court.
This data is readily accessible to the public, making it easier for citizens to track the status of cases and access relevant information.
Open Data Policy: The decision to include Supreme Court case data on the NJDG is in line with an 'open data policy,' ensuring transparency and accessibility of judicial information to the public.

Onboarding the NJDG will enhance coordination within the judiciary and enable informed decision-making.
Judges and court officials can access up-to-date information about the institution, disposal, and pendency of cases, categorized by type, year, stage, and quorum.
Optimum Resource Deployment:
The NJDG facilitates the optimum deployment of judicial resources and manpower.
This means that resources can be allocated more efficiently to address the backlog of cases and manage the workload effectively.
Single Source of Data and Consistency:
The NJDG serves as a single repository for data related to cases instituted, pending, and disposed of by courts across the country.
This centralized data source streamlines access to information and ensures data consistency.
Research Opportunities:
The NJDG offers a valuable resource for high-quality research work within the judiciary.
Researchers and legal scholars can use this data to analyze trends, study case outcomes, and gain insights into the functioning of the Indian judicial system.
Pendency and Case Statistics:
The NJDG-SCI portal provides information on the current pendency of civil and criminal cases in the Supreme Court, as well as details about cases filed and disposed of in the previous month.
It also breaks down pending cases by the number of judges on each bench.
Access for the Common Man:
Real-time data on the Supreme Court's case proceedings becomes readily accessible to the common man.
This transparency empowers citizens to track the status of cases, enhancing their understanding of the legal system.
With the Supreme Court's participation, the NJDG now includes all three tiers of the Indian judiciary, completing a significant aspect of the e-courts project which also aligns with the Indian government's "ease of doing business" initiative.
Context: The government has announced a pool of ₹3.4 crore in prizes for developers who create an indigenous browser for the world which trusts the Controller of Certifying Authorities, which verifies digital signatures in the country.
An important caveat is that browser ideas entered into this competition will have to trust the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA), the Indian government’s authority for digital signatures, including SSL (Security Sockets Layer) certificates.
About Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA):
It is an organisation that administers and monitors the functioning of Certification Authorities that issue encrypted (a technique for secure communication) digital certificates. This type of encryption allows relying parties to have an authenticated transfer of data under a secure connection, and the Authority has well-defined methods of assuring the identity of parties to whom it issues certificates.
It also confirms the attribution of a public key to an identified physical person by means of a public key certificate.
As per Section 18 of The Information Technology Act, 2000 provides the required legal sanctity to the digital signatures based on asymmetric cryptosystems. The digital signatures are now accepted at par with handwritten signatures and the electronic documents that have been digitally signed are treated at par with paper documents.
The IT Act provides for the Controller of Certifying Authorities(CCA) to license and regulate the working of Certifying Authorities.
The Controller of Certifying Authorities has been appointed by the Central Government under section 17 of the Act for purposes of the IT Act.
It aims to promote the growth of E-Commerce and E- Governance through the wide use of digital signatures.
It has established the Root Certifying Authority (RCAI) of India under section 18(b) of the IT Act to digitally sign the public keys of Certifying Authorities (CA) in the country. The RCAI is operated as per the standards laid down under the Act.
It certifies the public keys of CAs using its own private key, which enables users in cyberspace to verify that a given certificate is issued by a licensed CA. For this purpose, it operates, the Root Certifying Authority of India(RCAI).
The CCA also maintains the Repository of Digital Certificates, which contains all the certificates issued to the CAs in the country.
About Security Sockets Layer (SSL):
It is an encryption-based Internet security protocol.
It was first developed by Netscape in 1995 for the purpose of ensuring privacy, authentication, and data integrity in Internet communications.
It is the predecessor to the modern Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption used today.
A website that implements SSL/TLS has "HTTPS" in its URL instead of "HTTP."
In order to provide a high degree of privacy, SSL encrypts data that is transmitted across the web. This means that anyone who tries to intercept this data will only see a garbled mix of characters that is nearly impossible to decrypt.
It initiates an authentication process called a handshake between two communicating devices to ensure that both devices are really whom they claim to be.
It also digitally signs data in order to provide data integrity, verifying that the data is not tampered with before reaching its intended recipient.
Context: Recently “The PM-Kisan scheme has become the first scheme of the government to do e-KYC through facial authentication mobile app. This app is very useful for the aged farmers and their mobile number is not linked with their Aadhaar.”
Issues with the existing system
Until now, e-KYC of the PM-Kisan beneficiaries used to be done through either biometrics at a designated centre or one-time passwords sent to mobile phone numbers linked with Aadhaar.
However, during the e-KYC exercise, officials found many instances when farmers’ mobile numbers were not linked to Aadhaar due to which the process could not be completed.
In the case of biometrics, several elderly farmers faced problems going to the nearby centre.
Many faced the issue of the non-matching of fingerprints.
Therefore, to ease the e-KYC process, the ministry introduced the face authentication feature in the PM-Kisan mobile app.
The face authentication feature uses the iris data of a person having an Aadhaar number.
Other Steps
In another move, the PM-Kisan scheme is also integrating with Bhashini to provide farmers with information in their native language.
Bhashini is the government’s National Public Digital Platform for languages to develop services and products for citizens by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.
About PM-Kisan scheme
Launched in 2019, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi or PM-Kisan scheme gives beneficiaries financial assistance of Rs 6,000 per year in three equal instalments every four months.
The amount is transferred to the bank accounts of eligible farmers’ families across the country through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode.
According to the Agriculture Ministry, more than 11 crore farmers have availed of the scheme, and Rs 2.42 lakh crore has been transferred to their accounts.
Context:The government of India plans to register online fact checking platforms of various institutions including big corporates to ensure greater accountability in the digital space. This aspect of registration is expected to be a part of the proposed Digital India Bill and such registration of online fact checking platform could be carried out in different phases.
Classification of Online Fact Checking Platform
The proposed Digital India Bill is expected to classify various types of online intermediaries, including fact-checking portals - One of the major reasons behind the proposed classification of online intermediaries is that the Centre intends to prescribe specific rules for different types of intermediaries. One of the rules may prescribe for registration of online intermediaries or online fact checking portal.
The term “intermediary” has been presently defined in The Information Technology Act, 2000 - “intermediary”, with respect to any particular electronic records, means any person who on behalf of another person receives, stores or transmits that record or provides any service with respect to that record and includes telecom service providers, network service providers, internet service providers, web-hosting service providers, search engines, online payment sites, online-auction sites, online-market places and cyber cafes.
Multiple types of intermediaries in the current digital age comprise e-commerce, digital media, social media, Artificial Intelligence, Over the Top (OTT) Platforms, Online Gaming etc.
Proliferation of Illegal Activities in Digital Space
With increasing proliferation of technology and expansion of digital space at an exponential rate also increases the risks of cyber-frauds and hence needs better regulation.
We are witnessing new innovative ways of online financial fraud and criminal and illegal activity also thrives in other areas of digital space.
New Complex forms of user harms includes –
Catfishing - creation of fictional or fake identity by taking personal details of other persons
Doxxing - a form of cyberbullying that uses sensitive or secret information, statements, or records for the harassment, exposure, financial harm, or other exploitation of targeted individuals.
Cyberstalking - is a technologically-based "attack" on one person who has been targeted specifically for that attack for reasons of anger, revenge or control. Cyberstalking can take many forms, including: harassment, false accusation, defamation, embarrassment or humiliation of the victim.
Cyber trolling - person who posts or makes inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages online
Gaslighting – manipulating someone using psychological methods leading to question sanity of the person
Phishing – attackers deceiving people into revealing sensitive information such as credit card numbers, bank information, or passwords etc. or installing malware such as ransomware.
Increasing proliferation of hate speech, disinformation and fake news is another very important reason to register online fact checking platforms.
What does the Proposed Digital India Law intends to Achieve?
According to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the proposed Digital India law should evolve through rules that can be updated, and address the tenets of Digital India which includes:
Open Internet
Online Safety and Trust
Accountability and Quality of Service
Adjudicatory mechanism
New Technologies
There is also an urgent need for a specialized and dedicated adjudicatory mechanism for online civil and criminal offences. The adjudicatory mechanism should
be easily accessible
deliver timely remedies to citizens
resolve cyber disputes
develop a unified cyber jurisprudence
enforce the rule of law online
Way Forward
The proposed Digital India Bill should not only provide a global standard cyber laws to act as a catalyst and enabler for $1 trillion digital economy but should also ensure that the digital space is not misused. Hence, the proposed law should also protect citizens’ rights and address emerging technology risks including technological disruptions.
