Bhubaneswar, December 29: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday launched the Digital Life Certificate mechanism for pensioners on virtual mode organised at the Convention Centre in the Lok Seva Bhawan here. He said that it’s in the true spirit of ‘5T’ and ‘Mo Sarkar’ Initiative.
In this new system, identification and life certificates can now be submitted by the pensioners using an Artificial Intelligence based Video-verification process.
“It will be of immense help to the pensioners as they can submit their identification and Life Certificates digitally, without visiting any Government Office simply by using their mobile phones. This facility will also be available at the ‘Mo Seva Kendras’ located across the State,” said Patnaik.
Saying that Odisha is the first State to implement such a digital service for the pensioners, he expressed happiness over the initiative.
He also launched E-Diary, under which all information contained in the Government Diary can be readily and conveniently accessed by citizens using their mobile phones.
He said that no matter how amazing and innovative a strategy is, its true success is dependent on its effective implementation. He suggested the officers to work judiciously, with honesty and integrity, for the benefit of the people.
Finance Minister Niranjan Pujari, Revenue Minister Sudam Marndi, and Chief Secretary Suresh Chandra Mohapatra also spoke on the occasion. General Administration Department Principal Secretary Surendra Kumar, Electronics & IT Secretary Manoj Mishra, Secretary to CM (5-T) VK Pandian and Principal Secretaries of Revenue, Finance and other Departments were also present.
