Hyderabad, July 1:
Forget about B2B, B2C and other such abbreviations that denote
electronically deliverable conversations and services between businesses
to consumers and business to businesses.
Farmers in Andhra Pradesh are calling it G2F or Government-to-farmer services.
They need not stand in serpentine queues and wait for hours, and
sometimes days, to get their packet of seeds. They now can book their
slot using Mee Seva, the Government-to-citizen service offered through
7,000 centres. “Mee Seva system will be utilised for distribution of
subsidy seeds under various programmes. The seed supplying agencies will
ensure the availability of seeds as per the bookings made these
centres. Issues related to crop subsidy too could be handled using this
service,” Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Andhra Pradesh Minister for IT, said. The
Government organised a meeting on Monday to commemorate completion of
two crore transactions under Mee Seva service. “Of the two crore, 70
lakh applications have been cleared in 15 minutes.” Chief Minister N.
Kiran Kumar Reddy and Digvijay Singh, who is in-charge of AP’s Congress
affairs, took part in the meeting.
Mee Seva would also take care of certain services such as reconnaissance
permit, mining lease and granite quarry lease (in Mining Department);
renewal of establishment and issuance of duplicate certificates (Labour
Dept); and age certificate, duplicate memo, re-counting of marks and
migration certificate (Education Certificate), the Minister said after
the event.
