He exhorted them to advise the departments to conduct a security audit of their respective websites forthwith without any failure. He told them to extend handholding to these departments to comply with the direction.

The Chief Secretary also emphasized the need of synchronizing the services with auto appeal as per the provisions of the Public Services Guarantee Act. He also asked them to put all the services on e-UNNAT and Service Plus for their availability from a common platform to ease seekers around the length and breadth of J&K.
He enjoined them to look for increasing the number of CSCs/Khidmat Centres to take services closer to the doorsteps of people besides generating employment for youth. He advised them to link them with Banks for financial support and other benefits.
