'Citizen App' Launched for Android
"The citizen app has been launched on Friday saying that all kinds of services provided by the government will be digitized and services will be provided from an integrated platform."
The 'Citizen App', which was unveiled on Friday under the slogan 'Supporting Communication and Information Technology, Government Services at Hand', has attracted a lot of users.
It has been found that one lakh 62 thousand 500 users have downloaded the app on the Android till 12 noon today. According to the National Information Technology Center, more than 40,000 users have already downloaded the app (managed to open an account).
Even though a large number of citizen apps have been downloaded, more than 122,000 details could not be verified due to various reasons, said Ramesh Prasad Pokharel, Information Officer of the Center.
According to him, many users do not have a SIM card in their own name and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the details could not be verified as the citizenship number and passport number were different. Although the user's attraction was seen in the app which is being tested, he says that there are difficulties in running the app due to various reasons.
Officials at the National Information Technology Center say that the details in the citizenship, passport or voter identity card did not match the data in the ministry and could not be verified using a SIM card in another's name.
The citizen app has been launched on Friday saying that all kinds of services provided by the government will be digitized and services will be provided from an integrated platform. Citizens will be able to get PAN number by applying for PAN card from the app and also get information about the tax paid to the government through mobile set. Through the app, citizens will be able to get details of citizenship, passport, educational certificate and voter identity card, while citizens will be able to get information about the amount deposited in the account of investment fund, provident fund and social security fund and loan details.
In the initial stage, the digital identity of the citizen has been established in the app using the details in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Election Commission and Passport Department. The government plans to add national identity card in the coming days.
