Problems in Nagarik App

While the Nagarik app created a huge buzz around social media, many also came forward with complaints that they were not able to sign up. However, the problems seemed to persist among those with unverified phone numbers or while choosing citizenship as their document. Apparently, the success rate with Voter Card or Passport was found to be higher.

The Ambitious Objective

Public service has been a hugely scrutinized and maligned aspect of the Nepal government. There are always complaints about the complacency and lack of working ethics on the government officialsโ€™ end. The app is, however, expected to correct most of those issues and facilitate the public in acquiring those services within some clicks. Therefore, it is safe to say that the excitement over the launch of the app is justified.

As of now, the app seems to be the boon for common public in Nepal who hare having to walk or travel miles to get their official works done. It will not only save their time, but also the stress. No doubt the government is treating this app as one of its pride project.

Another Milestone towards Digital Nepal

Nepalโ€™s government has embraced digitizing services with open arms. From Corporate pay to Online Traffic fines payment in recent days to this integrated service app, the government has shown a keen interest in leapfrogging the traditional service practices and base it on real-time cloud and online basis.

These changes will bring monumental changes in normal peopleโ€™s lives as they will be able to tend to their government duties and also receive services online.
