More than a year after offering citizen-centric services through its portal called Jeevan, the Delhi government is set to step into the next leg of the project: accessibility through mobile phones.The government is now looking at integrating the 73 services offered through Jeevan with mobile phones.
To begin with, citizens will be given cellphone updates on the status of their applications related to Employees' Provident Fund (EPF).
"Once the application is put in through the centre, an applicant will be given regular updates on its status, the various channels that it goes through, and the date on which the PF cheque would arrive," A K Singla, project head for Jeevan, said.
The service on cellphones would be in place by next month, Singla said.
Besides the usual services of paying water, electricity and BSNL phone bills, the service related to accepting EPF forms is one of the new services added to the existing system. These included applications related to the Bed and Breakfast scheme, payment of bills of IGL pipedgas connections and matters related to the Drug Comptroller's office.
