Surekhatai Kadam - Mayor AMC Citizen Engagement App

About Mayor Surekhatai Kadam & Ahmednagar Municipal Corporation

Mayor Surekhatai Sambhajirao Kadam represents the Shiv Sena party and serves as the Mayor of Ahmednagar Municipal Corporation (AMC). Ahmednagar is a historic city in Maharashtra with a growing urban population requiring modern civic services. The Municipal Corporation manages city infrastructure, sanitation, development projects, and citizen welfare across multiple wards.

The Challenge

Traditional civic governance faced significant barriers preventing effective citizen-government communication and service delivery.

Communication Gap: Citizens had no direct channel to communicate with the Mayor’s office. Local issues and complaints went through multiple layers of bureaucracy causing delays. Important announcements and development updates didn’t reach all residents. Citizens felt disconnected from local governance.

Complaint Management Chaos: Issues like garbage collection failures, broken streetlights, potholes, and water supply problems were reported via phone calls or physical visits to municipal offices. No tracking system existed for complaint status. Citizens didn’t know if their complaint was received, being addressed, or resolved. Accountability was difficult to establish.

Blood Emergency Crisis: During medical emergencies requiring blood transfusion, families struggled to find donors quickly. No centralized platform connected blood donors with those in need. Time-critical situations often resulted in delayed treatment. Community blood donation culture wasn’t well-organized.

Document Request Hassles: Citizens needed to visit municipal offices multiple times for simple document requests like Voter ID cards, Aadhar cards, birth certificates, etc. Long queues, unclear requirements, and multiple visits wasted citizen time. No digital request or tracking system existed.

Information Accessibility: Important contact numbers for municipal departments, emergency services, and local authorities were scattered. Citizens didn’t know whom to contact for specific issues. Government website links required searching and navigation difficulties.

Development Work Visibility: Ongoing development projects, road construction, and infrastructure improvements lacked public visibility. Citizens had no information about work progress, timelines, or completion status. Trust deficit existed regarding development promises.

Language Barrier: Municipal information primarily in English excluded Marathi-speaking majority. Local governance communication needs vernacular language support for inclusive participation.

Our Solution
