As part of the Digital India initiative, the government has launched a portal through which the public can make appointments with government officers online.
The portal, myvisit.gov.in, is managed by the National Informatics Centre. It is a cloud-based application software integrated at all central government offices and ministries. Through the application, the bureaucrats also can interact with their visitors.
The portal has a simple registration form to book appointment. The visitor has to fill in his/her name, address, gender, age, e-mail id, cell phone number, identity proof and an Aadhar number. An Aadhar card is a must. Details of the person they want to meet have also to be filled. Once the form is filled, the visitor will receive a registration number that can help track the approval status of the request.
Once the request is approved, the status will be communicated to the visitor through SMS/e-mail.
