In line with its commitment to modernising facilities at the Mahakumbh Mela, the state government is promoting various technology-driven initiatives across Prayagraj. A new mobile app, developed for the irrigation and water resources department, will feature advanced functionalities to effectively monitor and manage water resources during the Mahakumbh.

The development of this state-of-the-art app-based system has been entrusted to UP electronics corporation limited (UPLC), aligning with chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision of a modern and well-managed Mahakumbh.

The Mahakumbh Water Monitoring System is a comprehensive solution that integrates a web portal and mobile application designed to monitor and report water levels at various predefined control points. The system will collect and organise data in an easy-to-read format, enabling officials to make quick decisions during events such as heavy rain or floods. This system is crucial for managing both the Maha Kumbh and future water-related needs.

The app and website will include essential features such as secure logins, GPS coordination, automatic data handling, Google Maps integration, a user-friendly interface, filtering options, and graphical data representations, including charts and graphs.
