JanParichay is a single sign on platform, which acts as one digital identity for all applications. The purpose to organise this workshop was to make everyone familiar with functionalities of the JanParichay and usage with respect to citizen centric services. This system takes care of authentication and identity management and provide Government to Citizen (G2C) services seamlessly. It was proposed by Meity and entrusted NIC, C-DAC and NeGD to build National Single sign on (NSSO) platform under “Meri Pehchan”,
The main objective of JanParichay was to make convenient to the citizen by eliminating the need of repeatedly prove their identities to access the different citizen centric services.
Any citizen, who wants to register for some government services, can use JanParichay even using their social media accounts. The user has to go through the eKYC with Aadhaar/PAN/DL. So with JanParichay, a citizen can login and access multiple services smoothly. It supports six different languages and is under the process of integrating Geo-fencing too. All citizen centric services in Punjab will be provided through Jan Parichay for the convenience of citizens.
Meanwhile, the Officers of JanParichay Delhi team briefed about features, functionalities, migration strategies and its benefits and presented some case studies during the workshop. The team also told about the challenges which are being faced today in services delivery and need of the JanParichay.
