Kathmandu, Jan 28: Chandragiri municipality in the district has launched the online recommendation for citizenship certificate.
It is the first such scheme introduced in the Kathmandu Valley. Chandragiri municipality-12 Balambu began the service.
Earlier, the municipality had provided training to all secretaries from 15 wards and executive members with the cooperation of Home Ministry and the District Administration Office, Kathmandu.
Mayor Ghanshyam Giri and chief administrative officer, Hem Raj Aryal, inaugurated the service by forwarding online recommendations of Balambu residents Anuj Maharjan and Tisha Shrestha via software on Monday.
The Home Ministry has informed that 2,000 wards from 28 districts have begun the online recommendation for citizenship certificates to the concerned District Administration Offices till mid January. It was initially launched from Gaindakot of Nawalparasi district last year.
The digital recommendation has not only made record keeping and service delivery prompt but also curbed the faulty documentation.
Chandragiri municipality has informed that it would enforce the online recommendation for citizenship from all wards this very week. Currently, the local level is providing digital services for certification of house map, revenue, and vital registration.
Mayor Giri further said the municipality was planning to implement the digital signature soon in line with government policy of tech-friendly governance.
Assistant Chief District Officer in Kathmandu, Mukti Ram Rijal, extended thanks to Chandragiri municipality for introducing the online recommendation for citizenship certificates. All local levels would adopt such tech-friendly public service in Kathmandu soon, he added.
