Maharashtra Mantralaya Goes Digital: No More Queues With Aadhaar-Based DigiPravesh From August 1
With DigiPravesh, the entire process becomes digital: visitors can pre-register, schedule appointments online, and use a QR code or Aadhaar-based facial recognition for entry. In a significant move towards digital governance, Maharashtra's administrative headquarters, Mantralaya, will completely switch to a smart, Aadhaar-based entry system named DigiPravesh from August 1. This upgrade – developed by Mumbai-based tech firm Secutech Automation – aims to eliminate the long-standing chaos at Mantralaya's gates, where visitors often had to wait for hours just to get an entry pass. With DigiPravesh, the entire process becomes digital: visitors can pre-register, schedule appointments online, and use a QR code or Aadhaar-based facial recognition for entry. The transformation is expected to bring down average wait times from nearly three hours to less than three minutes. Once registered through the DigiPravesh app or website, repeat visitors won't need to fill out forms again, making the experience more efficient and citizen-friendly. Security and transparency are central to the DigiPravesh system. The facial recognition feature verifies identity instantly, while real-time monitoring, automated digital logs, and instant alerts create a secure environment for both visitors and staff. The system is designed to work seamlessly with Aadhaar, ensuring that access remains tightly controlled and traceable. For a building like Mantralaya – visited by thousands daily including citizens, contractors, and government officials – such upgrades are not just about ease, but also about safety and accountability. Secutech Automation, the company behind this solution, has over two decades of experience in smart infrastructure and has previously worked with various public institutions across India. CEO Aditya Prabhu said the idea behind DigiPravesh was to 'solve real-world challenges in public building access by combining security with simplicity."
