The official also added that this time among the new additions there will be schemes like booking of tour packages from the tourism department and also other services related to the driving license would be added. "According to the research and studies, we found that all these schemes are very much needed based on the demands of these services," said the official.
The APP government said the Home Delivery scheme has got an overwhelming response from the citizens so far. An official also highlighted the need for a comprehensive digital system to manage the various aspects of the project like appointment booking, service registration, service delivery, status updates and complaint management.
Under the doorstep delivery of services to be launched in August, the AAP government will provide around 100 public services of its various departments at the doorstep of Delhi's citizens. The government has claimed that no citizens of Delhi would have to stand in queues for the services listed under the scheme. According to the plan, Mobile Sahayaks (facilitators) will be hired through the agency that would set up call centres.
Various certificates such as caste, new water connection, income, driving licence, ration card, domicile, marriage registration, duplicate RC and change of address in RC, among others, will be covered under the scheme. If a person wants to apply for a driving licence, he or she would have to call a designated call centre and give the details. Thereafter, the agency would assign a Mobile Sahayak, who will visit the applicant's residence and get the required details and documents. The applicant will have to visit the MLO office once for a driving test.
