Gandhinagar : Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has started the unique service of realizing the mantra of ‘convenience wherever there is human’ to give a more comfortable life to the human, poor, deprived people living in the hinterland villages of the state with the revolutionary dawn of digital age in rural areas. The Chief Minister has decided to launch an innovative experiment of digital service bridge in the state using modern technology to ensure that public interest services of various departments of the government are available from the village level to the gram panchayat in remote rural areas of the state. The Chief Minister has now provided rural citizens with daily services or certificates, no need to rush to the taluka-district headquarters for instances, time and cost of transportation and transportation, as well as various services at the primary stage with prices that do not go wrong. Covering this digital service bridge, it has been decided to start in 2 thousand gram panchayats from next 5th October. It is decided to cover more than 4,000 gram panchayats in this digital service bridge by December 2020.

Ever since Vijay Rupani took over the reins of the state, he has been committed to make the services of the government easily available to the citizens, the people as a common man, without any delay. The Chief Minister launched the ‘Seva Setu’ program in 2014 with a historic decision to provide planned benefits to the people on the basis of transparency, decisiveness, sensitivity and progressivism, the four pillars of good governance with a people-oriented approach and the common man at the center. The Chief Minister has created a cluster of 8 to 10 villages in this service bridge program. By organizing more than 1800 such service bridge phases across the state, backyard services have been provided to 20 million people-citizens under the direction of the Chief Minister. The Gujarat experiment of this One Day Governance is becoming an excellent and exemplary example in the public interest service project across the country. The Chief Minister has now equipped Gujarat to take the lead in realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of a digital India. He initiated a new initiative of Digital Transformation by the State Department of Science and Technology by connecting Gram Panchayats with fiber network and launching a new approach of Digital Service Bridge under Bharat Net Project. The services available in the Taluka-District Service Centers have been developed at the village level by the common man at his convenience and at a nominal fee from the Gram Panchayat.
