In a momentous stride toward realising the vision of ‘Digital India,’ Ms. Jyoti Kumari, IAS, Deputy Commissioner of Nicobar District, heralded the advent of e-services by formally inaugurating an e-Corner at the Assistant Commissioner’s Office in Campbell Bay. This milestone event unfolded in the southernmost Tehsil of India, in the presence of Mr. Abhishek Gulia, Assistant Commissioner of Campbell Bay, PRI Members, local government officials, and the general public.
The establishment of the e-Corner within the precincts of Campbell Bay Tehsil marks a pivotal leap in rationalising administrative procedures, diminishing paperwork, and expediting services for the denizens of Great Nicobar Island. Functioning as a nucleus for an array of digital services, the e-Corner promises enhanced convenience for the local populace.
This launch of e-services sets the stage for a simplified platform allowing applicants to procure various certificates, including Local Certificate, Tribal Certificate, Resident Certificate, Income Certificate, and more.
During the inauguration, Ms. Jyoti Kumari underscored the significance of these e-Corners as instrumental bridges between the administration and the local community. She personally handed-over online Resident Certificates and Senior Citizen Certificates to select applicants. The Deputy Commissioner further announced plans to establish similar e-Corners shortly at Kamorta, Katchal, Chowra, and Teressa Islands.
Mr. Abhishek Gulia, Assistant Commissioner of Campbell Bay, highlighted that applicants can access online services from the e-Corner or their nearby Common Service Centres. Additionally, citizens have the option to submit applications directly on the website https://edistrict.andaman.gov.in, facilitating seamless access to the available services.
The inauguration of this e-Corner signifies a transformative step towards digital governance and streamlined accessibility of services, promising greater efficiency and convenience for the residents of Nicobar District.
