The Doorstep Service Delivery (DSD) will be rolled out in the state soon, Mr Aman Arora said while adding that with the commencement of DSD, state citizens would be able to avail over 40 citizen-centric services at their doorsteps, which will be proven as the big facility for people as they will not have to visit any office for availing these services.

Citizens will be able to avail the services by dialling a dedicated helpline number and scheduling an appointment at their convenience. Specially trained staff will visit their homes at the scheduled time, and complete the necessary paperwork, collect fees, and deliver the final output, all within the comfort of the citizens’ premises, he added.
