Ranchi: From April 2010 onwards, people residing in interiors of Jharkhand might not need visiting the district headquarters for issuance of certificates related to birth, death, income and residential addresses.
They can have them issued right at their nearby Pragya Kendras, ( Makkal Kannani Miyam in Tamilnadu state) also known as Common Service Centres (CSC), at the panchayat levels.
As part of its drive to extend the reach of information technology (IT) facilities up to the village level, the State government has drawn up a comprehensive plan to launch e-Nagrik services at all 4562 panchayat kendras across the State.
The proposal was finalized last week at a high-level meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Sudesh Mahato, who also holds the Rural Development portfolio.
The IT facilities will be made available to villagers under the e-Nagrik scheme that envisages issuance of various certificates like birth, death, income, caste, etc, from the CSCs at a nominal cost.
Till now, people residing in rural areas have to rely on block offices and the district headquarters.
The JharNet (Swan) and JAP-IT (Jharkhand agency for promotion of information technology) together have been assigned the job for developing necessary infrastructure at the Panchayat levels to make the CSCs function smoothly.
The government has decided to extend the much-talked about e-Nagrik facilities to all panchayats after successful operation of its pilot project last year at eight CSCs, which processed over 55,000 certificates in a span of three months, IT secretary Shailesh Kumar Singh said.
We also hope, in the near future similar facility will be available in our Makkal Kanini Miyam also.
We earnestly request the Government of Tamilnadu, particularly, the Tamilnadu e-Governance Agency to launch this service by June 2010, at the World Tamil Conference at Coimbatore.
