E-rekha - An awesome initiative by Kerala Govt!

While I was browsing around in Twitter, I came across a tweet that mentioned that it has become easier now, to check the details of lands in Kerala.
Although I was skeptical about it at first, I clicked on the mentioned link, nevertheless.

The home page comes out as cold, dry and unpromising on the first look. But once I started clicking on each of those 'dry' links, I realized that it was more than just words. The links were clickable (contrary to the expectation on a government site, which if non-existent, would fatten the koshers of government 'servants') .
Search page worked perfectly.
FAQ clearly mentions what needs to be done.
You can even buy services such as documents verification from the site. There is a checkout page for this and the rates are also provided online. If you want the document verification done, you have the application form as well, online.
They have even mapped the number of entries in each of the blocks. With this kind of depth in details, you just need the survey number and everything is displayed for you on the screen.
If you want the document verification done, you have the application form as well, online.

2 things I could not verify (for obvious "monetary" reasons):

1. Checkout
2. Application form and response time.

But the survey numbers show up the old documents, scanned, with preliminary and resurvey records, online. For basic research before buying land, can definitely be done here.
Great work by Kerala Land Information Mission and Kerala Bureaucrats!

Time saved, red tapes removed.

It really surprised me, to say the least!
