In yet another digital leap aimed at enabling citizens to easily access government services on a single platform, the Uttar Pradesh government is all set to make services provided by the Revenue department — certificates related to income, caste and residence — available on the UMANG app soon.
The services of the Revenue department, including certificates related to income, caste and residence, over the years, were earlier made available through e-District portals at all the Jan Seva Kendras (public service centres). Now, these services have been integrated into the UMANG mobile app through APIs/web service, which has also been successfully tested.
The UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) app was developed by the National e-Governance Division of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the year 2017. The application provides access to numerous services of government organisations in states and at the Centre and also facilitates utility payments.
Principal Secretary, Revenue, Sudhir Garg said on Sunday that as per the IT and Electronics department, citizens will now be able to avail of the services in a hassle-free manner without having to visit Jan Seva Kendras and by paying only Rs 15 as user charge for each government service.
The main objective of the move is to provide G2C (Government to Citizen) services to the general public on a single platform. People of Uttar Pradesh will be able to track their status, verify certificate details, download existing certificates and avail of much more services at the single click.
