About SRA Brihanmumbai WhatsApp System
The SRA Brihanmumbai WhatsApp System is a citizen-focused digital communication initiative developed for the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), Brihanmumbai, Government of Maharashtra.
The system was designed to make official information, scheme details, application guidance, and status updates easily accessible to citizens through WhatsApp while fully respecting existing government processes and guidelines.
The Challenge
Citizens interacting with SRA Brihanmumbai often faced challenges such as:
- Multiple visits for information and follow-ups
- Limited visibility on application status
- Dependency on office hours for updates
- Repetitive manual inquiries handled by officials
This resulted in:
- Increased footfall for routine information
- High operational load on staff
- Delays in information dissemination
- Citizen inconvenience
A scalable and citizen friendly digital communication channel was required.
