Come New Year, the Thrikkakara municipality will turn a complete e-office in its quest to become paperless during the digital era.
This is in tune with the State government’s K-SMART project for making various services of urban local bodies accessible to the public digitally thus making personal visits to offices redundant. Applications for various certificates can be submitted online under the project. They will be made available online too. With the public not required to visit offices to get things done, the existing leeway for corrupt practices will also be cut out, it is expected.
“We have allocated ₹27 lakh for turning the municipal office fully digital in compliance with the Government Order,” said municipal vice chairman and chairperson of the finance standing committee P.M. Younus.
