Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has launched an ambitious ‘e-District project’. By this the people of Delhi will now be able to access a host of Delhi government services online and get documents verified for the issuance of nearly a dozen certificates. The inauguration comes days after the Cabinet approved a proposal to make 12 government services hassle-free through the doing away of the need to produce affidavits, and also introduced the concept of self-attestation. Stressing on the need for publicising the project, Kejriwal said that “small reports” in the media would not be enough to make the public aware about its utility and touts would continue to thrive.

As part of the project, the government has completely digitised caste data from 1962 to present that was available in its records, Secretary (Revenue) A Anbarasu said during the launch. The certificates that have been chosen in the first phase of the project include OBC, SC/ST, domicile, disability card, income, solvency, survivor, death order, marriage registration, birth order and ‘lal dora’. Duplication of certificates shall also be available online as part of the project.
