Ghaziabad Becomes First e-District In Uttar Pradesh

With the chairman of board of revenue of Uttar Pradesh, Vinod Kumar Malhotra, Friday inaugurating the e-governance centre (Jan Suvidha Kendra) on a public-private partnership basis, Ghaziabad has become Uttar Pradesh’s first electronically governed e-district.
This district-level centre run by SGS InfoTech Private Limited has a direct link with the various government offices like tehsil (sub-district) and block development offices.
The required verification for issuing certificates would be made through the internet from the concerned offices, thus also saving the effort and time of the applicant.
A fee of Rs.15 would be charged for a certificate. At present caste certificates, domicile certificates and income certificates will be issued from this centre.
Later, 32 facilities including services for RTI, bank information and even railway booking would be included. [Via]
