Coverage

5 HP Forest divisions

A field-operations system for the Himachal Pradesh Forest Department: budgets and tasks cascade from Shimla HQ down through six roles to the Forest Guard on the ground — and geo-tagged photo / video proof flows back up the same chain, with verification at every level.

On request — government deployment

Evidence

Every capture carries what it shows, where it came from, and when it was taken.

Highlights

The role hierarchy is the system. Six tiers — Shimla HQ, Circle Officer, DFO, Range Officer, Deputy/Block, Forest Guard — each with explicit responsibilities for allotment or verification.

Work allotment lives at the DFO level. GPS-stamped photo and video proof originates at the Forest Guard.

Accountability is structural rather than procedural: every approval and every piece of evidence is timestamped and traceable.

Disclosure

What we can show, and what we can't.

Shown here

Login and role selection, from the pilot build.

Not shown

Allotment, verification, and audit screens, and all division, officer, and location data.

Why

Departmental deployment. Operational screens carry live administrative data, so they are shown on request under NDA rather than published.
