Gujarat has launched the AI Green Citizen Score App, a digital platform that tracks and rewards citizens for environment-friendly activities such as tree plantation, waste management, water conservation and green mobility. The mobile app was developed by Gujarat Informatics Limited under the Department of Science and Technology.
Science and Technology Minister Arjun Modhwadia said citizens can record activities like tree plantation, waste segregation, recycling, plastic collection, water conservation, walking, cycling, public transport and carpooling. Eligible and verified activities earn Green Points, which are added to a citizen’s overall Green Score.
The app uses AI-enabled features to verify activities through photographs and location details. It also includes an AI Green Assistant that guides users on green activities and campaigns. The app is available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The app turns individual green actions into a quantifiable score, similar to how a credit score tracks financial behaviour. Under the Gujarat government's Green Growth agenda, the system creates a public ledger of verified contributions via a leaderboard. The real test will be verification rigour: the AI must distinguish genuine tree planting from staged photos. The next milestone is user adoption numbers in the first quarter after launch.
