He also directed the department of Information Technology to help all municipal bodies in digitalizing governance and making administration paperless.
According to Dilipji Gandhi, Member of Parliament who personally took interest in the initiative, the Website is integrated as an issuer and Requester with DigiLocker where the Citizen will have access to all these documents at any time.
