In her address, Dr. Neeta Verma spoke about how the concept of digital India has been put into place with the support of Information Technology by developing Common Services Centre portal. She appreciated the NHRC India’s initiative to utilise the MyGov and CSC portals for building awareness on human rights and reaching out to people in far-flung areas.
Elaborating on the portal, Shri Sudhir Chandra, Sr. Technical Director, NIC said that this portal is integrated with Common Service Centre's service and now available at districts level.
The portal helps common citizens lodge complaints without hassles and approach NHRC and SHRC for redressal. It also facilitates communication with various stakeholders through email and SMS.
