LUCKNOW : Chief minister Yogi Adityanath launched the digital directory and the app of the state informatio­n department in a programme organised in Gorakhpur on Thursday.

With this, all informatio­n related to public representa­tives, government department­s and officials will now be easily accessible on mobile phones.

Speaking in the event, the CM said, “In the era of technology, we also need to change accordingl­y. It was only because of technology that all the schemes and benefits of the state government were made available to people during the Covid pandemic.” “Using technology, we can bring about comprehens­ive reforms in every field. The informatio­n department has taken an innovative initiative through the digital informatio­n diary and the app,” Yogi added.

Additional chief secretary, informatio­n and MSME, Navneet Sehgal said, “For the first time in the country, the informatio­n department of any state had prepared its digital directory. Being manual, the informatio­n directory was not available to everyone but from now on it will be easily accessible through the app.”

The chief minister also unveiled a special cover of the postal department. The special cover is dedicated to the memories of Mahant Avaidyanat­h, who was mahant of the Gorakhnath Temple in Gorakhpur, and represente­d Gorakhpur in Lok Sabha for five terms.

“The effort of the postal department will help in carrying forward our heritage and tradition. This will also help our future generation­s to know about our ancestors,” Yogi said.
