The mobile application platform is based on the Enterprise Architecture that the state government is following in its Digital journey, said Mahajan.
Vini further shared that citizens will be able to make online payments for the services they wish to apply, using multiple payment options. Citizens can also track the status of services applied via mSewa or Sewa Kendras.
