Himachal Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Thursday launched ‘e-Parivahan Vyavstha’ to provide online services to the people of the state regarding driving licence, registration certificates, permits among others.
While addressing the people on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that the State Government first started e-Vidhan Sabha, then e-Budget and now it has started e-cabinet. e-Parivahan is another step forward in this direction.
He said that it would facilitate the people in getting various services on click of the button. The Chief Minister said that the e-Parivahan service would facilitate the people in issuance of various online certificates and renewal of registration and driving licenses etc.
Thakur said that the ever increasing number of vehicles in the State as well as the country has forced the planners to rethink about traffic management and traffic registration in the country.
An integrated road accident database would be implemented by the NIC. This is a web based IT solution which would enable various agencies such as police, transport, PWD etc. to enter details of road accidents from different perspectives such as road engineering, vehicle conditions etc, he said. As many as 18 lakh vehicles are registered in the State. The Chief Minister said that during the last few years, technology has virtually transformed our lives.
Effective use of technology is a step towards the ‘Ease of Doing Business’. Himachal Pradesh was at 16th rank in Ease of Doing Business and today, the State has achieved 7th position.
