? Another step in the direction of facilitating 'Ease of Doing business'.
? Top level monitoring of RoW pendency and reasons of rejections by field officials, online
payment and processing.
? Quick approval is leading to laying of more OFC resulting in acceleration in Fiberization,
increasing Tower density and will enhance connectivity and improve Quality of Service,
thus better Broadband speeds.
? Laying of more OFC and erection of more Towers helping for Broadband to reach all
villages and Institutions like hospitals, police stations, panchayat offices, schools and
colleges, anganwadis etc. Broadband availability will facilitate the delivery of e-
Governance services such as e-Health, e-education, e-commerce, cashless transactions etc.
in rural areas.

3. For Citizens
With better broadband connectivity Citizens can:
? Easily access Government services, search for information online, undertake cashless
transactions, and can participate in Nation building in rural areas.
? Read the online latest news, become politically aware, read about farming techniques, sell
their produce online, sell their handicrafts online, read about products, buy household
necessities online and can access various Government services being provided online
through various websites and Mobile Apps viz. BHIM, UMANG, Digi-Locker etc.

Impact:

? The GatiShakti Sanchar Portal provided a single interface for TSPs/IPs/ISPs to obtain
Right of Way (RoW) permissions from any authority in any State/UT. TSP/IPs/ISPs are now
able to apply for RoW permission to any local authority in any State/UT across the country at
single centralized web portal instead of login in individual State RoW portal.
