The National Urban Digital Mission (NUDM), which aims to digitize municipal services across the country, would have new modules such as online booking of community centers and registration of properties.
The NUDM, launched in 2021 aimed to institutionalize a citizen-centric and ecosystem-driven approach to urban governance and service delivery across all cities and towns in India by 2024. The Union Budget for 2024-25 allocated ₹1,450 crore for the programme. However, it is yet to get the Cabinet nod.

About National Urban Digital Mission (NUDM):
It was launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) along with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY).
It creates a shared digital infrastructure for urban India, working across the three pillars of people, process, and platform to provide holistic support to cities and towns.
It institutionalizes a citizen-centric and ecosystem-driven approach to urban governance and service delivery in 2022 cities by 2022, and across all cities and towns in India by 2024.
The shared digital infrastructure will consolidate and cross-leverage the various digital initiatives of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, enabling cities and towns across India to benefit from holistic and diverse forms of support, in keeping with their needs and local challenges.
NUDM has articulated a set of governing principles, and inherits the technology design principles of the National Urban Innovation Stack (NUIS).
The principles in turn give rise to standards, specifications, and certifications, across the three pillars of people, process, and platforms.
NUIS will strengthen the capacity of the urban ecosystem to solve complex programs at speed and scale by unlocking the power of urban data.
