In a landmark achievement for the Digital India mission, the National e-Governance Division (NeGD) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has announced the successful pan-India integration of nearly 2,000 e-Government services on DigiLocker and e-District platforms.
This milestone ensures that citizens in all 36 States and Union Territories can now access a wide range of essential government services—ranging from certificates, welfare schemes, and healthcare benefits to utility bill payments and licensing services—seamlessly, anytime and anywhere.

In total, 1,938 services are now accessible across the nation, making this one of the largest e-Governance expansions in India’s history.
DigiLocker: A Pillar of Digital Public Infrastructure
Since its inception, DigiLocker has become a trusted digital platform for storing and accessing important government-issued documents securely. This integration has further enhanced its utility by allowing interoperability across states, ensuring that certificates and services can be accessed paperlessly and hassle-free.
The system is built with strong safeguards for data security, privacy, and trust, ensuring inclusivity for citizens across urban, semi-urban, and rural areas. By digitizing services and eliminating bureaucratic delays, DigiLocker has transformed how citizens interact with governance.
Boosting Efficiency, Transparency, and Accessibility
The integrated services now available span multiple citizen needs, including:
- Birth, death, and caste certificates
- Pension and welfare schemes
- Ration cards and health cards
- Utility payments (electricity, water, property tax)
- Educational certificates and exam results

Roadmap Ahead: AI and Emerging Tech Integration

Workshops and awareness drives will also be organized to ensure that even citizens in remote regions can benefit from these advancements.
Commitment to a Digitally Empowered India
This milestone reflects the Government’s unwavering commitment to digitally empower citizens and improve governance delivery. As Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has often emphasized, “Technology must not be limited to a few but should empower every citizen.”
With 1,938 services now accessible digitally, India is making rapid strides toward becoming a globally recognized leader in digital governance.
