The link above is to a PDF file of the original papers showing the boundaries of the plot exactly behind "The Rainbow School" plot and the school's plot itself. They correspond to those "Kadi Stones" shown in the previous video. You can see the little dots on the lines right above the word "Village Boundary" that show the placement of the stones. You can see corresponding marks on the last page, the most recent boundary marks for the school's plot. (I asked for a re-draw of the plot last January, just to be sure we were all squared up.)
It is so very cool to have a window into this typically windowless paperwork system. You see, we currently have a claim against these very clear boundary marks.
However, the credit for the first e-mailed document I ever received from the Indian government goes to the District Rural Development Agency, the best run district office in Ranga Reddy. They all have computers! IMAGINE! Nearly paperless, DRDA is a spunky office free from the heavy weight of dusty paper stacks on top of full file cabinets. There are no tired-eyed clerks constantly overrun with paper to shuffle, yet not enough file folders to hold them in any kind of order.
Srinivas would just love it. Here he is again, for old times sake.

E-seva creates the opportunities for public services, like paying an electric bill or registering a birth, to be delivered in simple computer kiosk-based, customer-friendly, bureaucrat-sanity-saving form. Of course, literacy is a help here.
The focus on schools just seems to come up all the time.
