Officials say the app is compatible with any android-based smartphone. To begin with, the app enables residents to request for dry ration, cooked food, LPG cylinders, ambulance, doctor, movement pass and bank appointments. The mobile application sends the citizen’s request to the district officer concerned. When the officer concerned has completed the task, the citizen is informed. The app also provides farmers with an option to sell their crop in the mandi by booking a gate pass. Citizens seeking financial aid can check the eligibility and status of their application in real time.
