Govt services at your door step

New Delhi, June 01: In a major step, The Delhi Government is finally ready to introduce its ambitious "doorstep delivery of key services" by July-end.

According to the details, The scheme will offer 40 services across eight government departments, including delivery of caste certificate, marriage registration, birth and death certificates, driving license, old-age pension, and new water or sewer connections, among others.

This is expected to bring transparency in functioning of government services.

Under the proposed scheme, if a person wants a certificate, he would have to make a phone call to a particular number and fix an appointment as per his convenience -- even outside normal working hours of government offices.

A 'Mobile Sahayak' would then reach his residence or office and collect the necessary documents, take photo(s) and biometric details and process the application.

This process would be outsourced to a private company. Applicants can also pay the prescribed application fee to the 'Mobile Sahayak'.
