Zero Visitor Target

At the ATI this morning, in course of my lecture to promoted IAS officers from 11 states, I spoke on Urban Development. I told that by using e-governance and mobile based apps, the necessity of visiting government offices should be eliminated, as a matter of policy goal. Citizens should be able to register and track progress of the steps taken and get e-alerts in their mobiles. In other words, Smart cities should try to ensure that zero visitors need to visit municipal functionaries for solving their issues/ problems.
