“A lot of times the basic concept of delivering efficiently and fast is diverted because most of times focus is more on achieving targets and implementing schemes, following guidelines and rules that we forget that we are here to serve the people,” he said.

“All 188 services should be made available at the earliest on the portal,” – he mentioned and urged the departments at all levels to follow the timelines so that there is no delay.

The portal is designed to provide maximum convenience to citizens. It is an integrated web portal and a dashboard for officials and the Commission to enable monitoring of status of all applications at each stage.

“A citizen having poor network connectivity can avail the services of the portal in Common Service Centers,” – informed an official statement.
