Karnataka goes Delhi way, to bring govt services to citizens’ doorsteps from January 15
The ‘Janasevaka’ programmewill be launched in Rajajinagar, Yeshwanthpur, Bommanahalli, Mahadevapura and Dasarahalli constituencies. A website, www.janasevaka.karnataka.gov.in, has been developed and will be activated from January 15 to enable citizens to request for services.
Janasevaka on duty. The Karnataka government will now deliver 55 of its services to the citizens’ doorsteps, including Aadhaar card, caste certificates, income certificates, senior citizen cards, BBMP khatha transfer and health cards.
Education and Sakala Minister S Suresh Kumar said on Friday that the doorstep service will be launched in state capital Bengaluru on January 15. “The ‘Janasevaka’ (peoples’ servant) programme in five assembly segments of Bengaluru will be started from January 15. As many as 55 government services will be delivered at citizens’ doorsteps under this programme,” he said.
“The programme will be launched in Rajajinagar, Yeshwanthpur, Bommanahalli, Mahadevapura and Dasarahalli constituencies,” he added.
Last year, the Karnataka cabinet approved the doorstep delivery scheme, which is on the lines of a similar initiative by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi. The project was introduced as part of a dry run in Dasarahalli Assembly constituency last February. It drew a positive feedback from citizens based on which the first phase of the scheme is being launched, officials said.
Apart from the call centre and website, citizens can also avail the services by downloading the ‘Mobile One’ App of the Karnataka government from the Android Play Store or Apple Store.
