Key public utilities and emergency service locations, including police stations, checkpoints, command and control centers, hospitals, parking areas, food courts, vending zones, toilets, pontoon bridges, and roads, have been made accessible to devotees via Google Maps for ease and convenience.

To ensure transparency and equal opportunities, Prayagraj Mela Authority has accepted applications even from institutions that participated in Kumbh 2019. For this, the authority conducted extensive publicity and invited applications on its portal.

The 2019 Kumbh data was analyzed to allocate land and facilities following established rules. After application analysis, allocation, and approval by the authority, digitized facility slips were created. Vendors can view these facility slips online and update the details, including photos, in coordination with institutions.

The greatest aspect of the digital and online system is its transparency, allowing applicants to access updates about their land allocation and facilities at any time and raise objections if necessary. To assist with facilitating devotees and expediting their requests, many 'Kumbh Fellows' have been deployed to support Mela administration.
