The services of the revenue department, including certificates related to income, caste and residence, over the years, were earlier made available through e-District portals at all the ‘Jan Seva Kendras’ (public service centres). Now, these services have been integrated into the UMANG mobile app, which has also been successfully tested, said the spokesperson.

UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) app was developed by the National e-Governance Division of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2017. The application provides access to numerous services of various government organisations in states and at the Centre as well as facilitates utility payments.

Sudhir Garg, principal secretary, revenue department, informed that as per the IT and Electronics Department, the citizens would now be able to avail services in a hassle-free manner without the need for them to visit Jan Seva Kendras by only paying ₹15 as a user charge for each government service, said the spokesperson.
