In another initiative under the 5T initiative, an Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPAS) under the Sustainable Urban Service in a Jiffy by Odisha Government (SUJOG) was launched by Housing & Urban Development Minister Pratap Jena on Friday.
This transformative e-Gov initiative is intended to provide the most advanced ICT-enabled services to urban citizens.
The OBPAS has been identified as a key reform agenda to fast-track approval of online building plan applications. It is an end-to-end online system for the entire building plan approval processes, including automated building plan drawing scrutiny, auto calculation and payment of fee, streamlined building permit application process, plinth/roof verification and occupancy certificate.
Jena said the OBPAS caters to requirements of citizens, architects and technical persons while providing a software-based verification of building plans and details for compliance with the various rules as defined in the ODA Act, 1982.
The system envisages a seamless integrated workflow between various Government departments.H & UD Principal Secretary G Mathivathanan informed that the department would migrate all its urban services to the SUJOG platform very soon.
