Rahuri in Ahmednagar becomes first to have digi-locker
Ahmednagar, Apr 28 (IBNS) Rahuri Municipal Council of Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra became the first Municipal Council to attain the status of integrated with digital locker for the issuance of all essential documents after Ravi Shankar Prasad formally launched this service on Thursday as part of Digital India Programme.
Speaking on the occasion, Prasad called upon civic bodies around the country to follow Rahuri in expediting the process of digital governance.
He said digitalization of governance was essentially meant to bring in transparency in the administration and restore peoples’ confidence in government.
He 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, the website is integrated as an issuer and requester with DigiLocker where the citizen will have access to all these documents at any time. They will have freedom to access them from anywhere in the world at any time. Applications for certificates like Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates can be made online without going to Municipal Council and these documents will be available in the Digilocker signed to the citizens.
