eMudhra, a market leader in digital identity and transaction management, announced today that it has joined hands with over 15 State Governments to help them go digital as part of the e-Governance initiatives.
Using eMudhra's eSign and Digital Signatures, eOffice applications, issuance of various certificates such as Life, Marriage Encumbrance Certificates and so on, have been made paperless resulting in the ability to do faceless, paperless transactions.
Under the initiative, eMudhra has enabled AADHAAR eSign and digital signature-based signing to various government officers in several districts of these states. This has facilitated paperless employee logins, leave requests, memos and official document signing.
The digital signatures provided by eMudhra ensure that the document cannot be tampered with, reduces process delays, and eliminates the need to print paper, scan and fax. In addition, approvals can now be obtained remotely assuring faster turnaround times in decision making.
"Technology has transformed all sectors in the economy and we understand the importance it plays in increasing our own productivity. The digitisation of all administration is a step towards efficient and transparent governance. eMudhra's digital signature solution uplifts the e-Office plan and has managed to eradicate voluminous paper flow, bring in accountability in government offices and most importantly, reduce the carbon footprint in various states," said V. Srinivasan, Founder Chairman, eMudhra.
Government offices follow a paper based administration for all its internal processes which became a bottleneck for efficient administration. To fast-track the process and accelerate the service delivery mechanism, the state governments looked to eMudhra to offer solutions in digitally transforming its operations.
