e District in New Town

In memo no. 254-JS(IT)/P/40/2007 dt 27 July 2016, the IT Department Govt of West Bengal has advised TCS to take up formulation of work flow with NKDA under the e-District MMP programme so that citizens of New Town will get e-governance web-enabled services for the following matters:
- Mutation (recording property ownership in NKDA records)
- Occupancy Certificate (often called Possession Certificate) of constructed buildings
- Trade Licence
- Birth and Death Registration
-  Water Connection applicaion and
- Integration with existing on-line Building Plan sanction.

Work will start soon. The concurrence of IT Department was a result of a meeting with IT Department by me with Pr Secretary IT Talleen Kumar recently when I urged that since New Town is within North 24-Paraganas district, services by NKDA a an Urban Local Body may also be integrated with the e-District programme. Incidentall, NKDA already has a lot of e-governance initiatives (like on line plan sanction, on-line grievance redressal system for street lights, birth and death registration, trade licence etc) which will now be integrated into a common platform
