LAHORE – Punjab government has successfully implemented “Ab Gaon Chamkay Gy” sanitation project across the province.
As per details, a total of 11.6 million sanitation activities, of which 10.45 million were verified, have been performed in the 21,535 villages of 35 districts since its launch in August 2023. A total of 7,703 staffers have been employed so far under this project, while Rs159 million have been received as sanitation fee under the system.
“Ab Gaon Chamkay Gy” initiative taken by the government with the collaboration of the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at improving sanitation conditions in rural areas. The project includes features such as Attendance, Picture-Based Attendance, Check-In/Check-Out, Activity Tracking, Waste Collection, Manual Sweeping, Door-to-Door Collection, Desilting of Drains, Open Heaps Clearance, and more. The use of Real-Time Monitoring, Geo-Tagged Data, Time-Stamped Pictures, and User-Friendly dashboards ensures effective and efficient implementation.
The project’s comprehensive approach has not only transformed sanitation practices but has also provided a sustainable model for rural development. By validating activities through the Assistant Director Local Government (ADLG), ensuring geographical visibility, and incorporating time-stamped pictures, “Ab Gaon Chamkay Gy” stands as a beacon of progress.
The project leverages state-of-the-art technology to provide a user-friendly dashboard with readily available information. The inclusion of daily sanitation fee collection details, expenditure breakdowns, and village committee information ensures transparency and accountability.
PITB chairman Faisal Yousaf remarked, “The success of the ‘Ab Gaon Chamkay Gy’ project reflects our commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of rural communities. The impressive statistics and real-time monitoring showcase the positive impact on sanitation practices, paving the way for a cleaner and healthier rural Pakistan.”
This initiative not only contributes to improving the overall hygiene and cleanliness of villages but also highlights the potential of technology-driven solutions in addressing grassroots challenges.
