To further streamline the services delivery to the people of the state in a transparent manner, Punjab Good Governance and Information Technology Minister Mr. Aman Arora directed the department officials to onboard all the Sarpanches, Nambardars and Municipal Councillors (MCs) by the end of April 2025.

While chairing a meeting of the Board of Governors of the Punjab State e-Governance Society (PSeGS), Mr. Aman Arora said that a total of 43,321 Sarpanches, Nambardars and MCs would be onboarded to empower them to verify the applications and certificates online, eliminating the need for citizens to visit them personally.

Additional Chief Secretary of Good Governance and Information Technology Mr. Vikas Pratap apprised the cabinet minister that over 41,000 online login IDs have already been created for Sarpanches, Nambardars, and MCs, representing about 95% of the total. He assured the Cabinet Minister that all local representatives would be onboarded by the end of the month.

Making citizen-centric services more accessible to all citizens, Mr. Aman Arora, informed that the state government has reduced the doorstep delivery fee to Rs. 50, down from Rs. 120. This move, under the leadership of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, allows residents to access 406 services by simply dialling helpline no.-1076 from the comfort of their homes. This significant reduction aims to ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can benefit from these services.

Reaffirming the Punjab Government's commitment to prioritising ease of living and ensuring convenient service delivery to its citizens, Mr. Aman Arora says that the Punjab State e-Governance Society (PSeGS) is actively working on numerous reforms and providing innovative IT and e-Governance solutions, contributing to improved governance and transparent service delivery.

The Board also reviewed the progress of several key projects, including eSewa, the Public Grievance Redressal System (PGRS), the Right to Information (RTI) Portal, mSewa, the State Admission Portal, the Connect portal, and the Visitor Pass management System.

Special Secretary Health & Family Welfare Mr. Ghanshyam Thori, Director Good Governance Mr. Girish Dayalan, CEO of PMIDC Ms. Deepti Uppal, State Transport Commissioner Mr. Jaspreet Singh and other senior officials of the department were also present in the meeting.
