Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Tuesday said that the Sewa Kendras were visualised and operationalised as an initiative to provide Government services to the people near their doorstep and are counted on top amongst the most path breaking and innovative initiatives of Punjab Government.
“This novel and noble venture would ensure that people get services concerned with the Government departments in a hassle free, corruption free, time bound and transparent manner,” he said.
Detailing about the services at the sewa kendras, an official spokesperson said that 78 services related to various departments including revenue, health, social security, women and child development, welfare, home, agriculture, personnel, rural development and panchayats, local bodies are being provided at these sewa kendras.
Spokesperson said that as a consequence of the establishment of these sewa kendras, people don’t need to make endless rounds of Government offices for availing services including income certificate, birth and death certificate, residential certificate, permission for all kinds of social benefits, shagan scheme, caste certificate, renewal of arms licence and permission for new arms licence, among others.
