CM Kiran launches ‘Mee Seva' services

CM N Kiran Kumar Reddy launched the prestigious Mee Seva programme in the temple town of Tirupati on Friday. Describing it as a historic moment in the history of the state, the chief minister said it was the first step towards bringing about a revolutionary change in the administrative system, so it could be more transparent and corruption-free.

The scheme being introduced on a pilot basis in Chittoor and Krishna districts envisaged what he declared as an easier and faster online, web-based, transparent and secured citizen-centric service to provide convenient access to the people in securing copies of a range of
land records like Adangal, village map etc, residence and income certificate, integrated caste-nativity- brith certificates, certified copies of registration documents

The electronic issue of certificates is made possible through the use of digital signatures and printing on security paper. It is the first time in India that such an innovative use of technology is being made to help the common man. Private kiosks that issue the services would charge a nominal charge of Rs 30 per certificate.

Necessary amendments have been made to the Andhra Pradesh Information Technology Rules (Electronic Service Delivery) Act, 2011 to provide authenticity to the certificate or document with the digital signature of the official.” “As of now, we are providing 12 different services under the programme.
