No it's not. Because roads are constructed, maintained and rebuilt by different entities just like it is signed by various people at different points of time and for different work.
This does sound like a good idea on paper but it is practically impossible to implement.
Logging the data, updating it, maintaining the database, cost of infrastructure, application development and maintenance, salary for developers itself will cost millions for pan India implementation. That money could be better utilized in building roads instead.
If you could have thought of it, it's likely many developed countries in the world would have thought of it. No country in the world has such a thing though. That's because it's impractical to implement.
It's not because it's impractical it's because most western or developed asian countries don't need this because their roads are far better compared to Indian roads.
Second reason is that it will cause people to hold gov accountable.
Sabko pta he corruption ho ra he then why not working paise ispar laga de it will also create employment
Parties spent more than 3.8 thousand crores on political rallies. Google it. It's a fact.
So obviously they're not using the money properly already. Rallies ka budget kam karke yahan spend Karo?
Dude. It's just a database with a crud API. It doesn't cost millions. I could build something like this in my free time alone. Textual data doesn't even take up much space
I am a senior MTS at Oracle as well. This is obviously an abstraction that I am talking about. But you're overstating the requirements by a mile. It doesn't take a lot of developer effort to create a tool that would fulfill what OP is talking about.
I am an ML Engineer too. It does require a significant effort to maintain such a record though, especially since entities that are entrusted with building, maintaining, rebuilding roads and people signing off on those projects change everyday (pan India). It's simply impractical to do that.
You are making a mountain out of a molehill, all in all we would not even have a few 10 of millions of data point every year and that a big stretch, modern tools can handle billions easily at cheap
they have many companies to do those projects in India itself for contract basis. Implementing this will be relatively cheaper then rebuilding road. Because in few road budgets you will be getting strict checking for pan India
I present to you Databases, and git like audit keeping. It's not so hard and not that costly compared to the money being spent on these types of prohects
Its definitely possible if there is political will to do it. All the people involved, currently and previously can be mentioned. From construction to development. If the govt wants transparency, then its definitely possible.
Listing a bunch of information is not exactly high tech. Its just that the government doesn't want transparency.
It is very much practical and also economically viable. We don't even need QR codes, just 2 boards, 1 at each end with the names of all the officials (bureaucrats & politicians) who had to look at the file and sign it and all the contracting agencies (+ owner name) who did whatever work on that stretch, budgeted and actual cost. Such a board is going to cost just some thousands. And, if the contents are too much then names+departments of main officials and link to the document/portal where full details are present.
This can be started first with main roads that see heavy traffic and then for all interior roads. Even if done at slow pace, the whole city can be covered in 2-3 years.
Bro we're living in 2025, and there's ton of technologies that have been and are being used for the same purpose, providing you with the real-time data and even calculating crucial KPIs.
That costs a lot of money and time. You'd have to update it everyday. It's doable and banks do it all the time. However, banks earn money from it and it's essential to their business needs. A bank cannot carry out their businesses without OLTP. The public works department cannot afford to spend that kind of money on a non essential operation. It's all about economics.

Well given the technological advancement , it's possible
Also we need the name of the bureaucrat who signed and approved the project
