### Fast Summary
– The State’s digital revenue card scheme is the first among 11 initiatives under the Union government’s Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances’ State Collaborative initiatives (SCI).- All services from village offices in the State are now online, but users still need to submit separate applications for certificates as needed.
– Digital revenue cards, resembling ATM cards and embedded with a chip, will include personal details, land records, building details, and property transaction data. They feature a QR code and a 10-digit digital number for streamlined access to these services.
– The rollout of these cards will begin on November 1 in villages where digital resurvey has been completed.

### Indian Opinion Analysis

By consolidating key property-related records into chip-based smart cards with seamless accessibility via QR codes and unique identifiers, this initiative can enhance operational efficiency while reducing paperwork burdens for citizens accessing village office services online.
However, successful implementation depends on completing the digital resurvey process across all regions-a challenge that may require investment in technology infrastructure and extensive coordination across local governance levels. If scaled effectively after initial rollouts starting November 1st, it could set precedence for similar reforms nationwide under collaborative frameworks like SCI.
