DAC Gangtok Clinches National e-Governance Silver Award for Amin Management System

The District Administrative Centre (DAC), Gangtok, has brought laurels to Sikkim by winning the Silver Award at the prestigious National Awards for e-Governance 2025 for its flagship initiative, the Amin Management System (AMS).

The recognition came under the category “Grassroot Level Initiatives for Deepening/Widening of Service Delivery with focus on initiatives by District Level/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs).”

AMS, launched in line with the Hon’ble Chief Minister’s vision of “Governance at Doorstep,” enables citizens to seamlessly book Revenue Surveyors (Amins) for land spot verification via the AMIN mobile app, website (www.dacgangtok.in), or through digitised offline requests. Reports are delivered digitally, ensuring transparency, record preservation, and faster turnaround.

Since January 2025, over 1,400 spot verifications have been booked, with 80% completed on time. The system has reduced average processing from one month to just 4–7 days, improving accountability through real-time dashboards monitored by DC, ADCs, and SDMs.

The award was received by DC Gangtok Shri Tushar Nikhare, IAS, along with senior district officials, at a ceremony in Visakhapatnam, graced by Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh and Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu.
