The Uttar Pradesh government claimed that the digital land project of the Board of Revenue won the national gold award for 2018-19 for e-governance at an award ceremony at Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi.

The award was given away by Union Minister of State (Independent charge) Jitendra Singh.

“Our digital land project also formed foundation for successful implementation of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana under which Rs 2,000 was directly transferred to the accounts of more than one crore farmers in the state by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 24,” a government spokesman said in Lucknow on Thursday

The spokesman said that the success of the project could be gauged by the fact that this portal received more than a crore hits per day. During the peak period (on 13-2-2019), the portal received more than 5.30 crore hits in a single day.

The national gold award-2018-19 for e-governance was presented to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath by a Revenue department team in Lucknow on Thursday.
