For this, the teams of Goa State Center and NIC (National Informatics Centre) located in Porvorim are working continuously. Let us know about this digital network, which is handling your government work in a jiffy.
The whole wonder of this ‘Digital Bridge’
A centralized platform named NAPIX (NIC API eXchange) works to connect government departments and deliver the data to you in a secure manner. If you understand it in simple words, you can consider it as a digital bridge. Through this, different government departments like transport, courts or other civil services share data among themselves in a very secure environment. Because of this system, you do not have to go to different offices and show your documents again and again for the same work. All data gets verified internally quickly and your work gets done without any interruption.
Why is this system so special?
- Data is shared faster
- Work delays are reduced
- The possibility of fraud decreases
- Every service is monitored
- Different government apps get integrated with each other
What benefits are the people of Goa getting?
- Government work is progressing. Now many services are available online, which saves time.
- The need to go to government offices has reduced.
- Every work is recorded in the system. Due to which transparency has increased.
- Many alerts and information are available directly on mobile.
Not just NAPIX, government has its own ‘Sandes’ app
To enable government officials and employees to talk to each other securely, the government has its own indigenous and completely secure instant messaging app, named Sandes. This app is not only for government officials, but any common citizen can easily download it from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. The most special thing about this app is that it is ‘end-to-end encrypted’. That means your messages and files are completely secure and no third person (even the government) can read them. In this, ‘Gimoji’ i.e. government emoji has also been created especially for government conversations.
How does Digital Goa work?
The entire system runs on a large network. Which includes government data centres, secure cloud systems, high-speed networks (NICNET), GIS and mapping services and video conferencing systems, all this together creates a strong digital governance. The biggest thing is that now the government system is gradually moving away from paperwork and becoming paperless and digital.
How can common people benefit?
You do not need to visit different offices. Many services are now available online. These include certificates, information about government schemes, alerts and notifications and online application processes. By using the right portal and system, you can complete all your work sitting at home.
