‘KarnatakaOne’ the centre where several public services are provided under one roof, started its first branch at the City Corporation premises in Jal Nagar here on Monday.
The office which has been opened behind the city corporation building, provides several services to the people including paying property tax, payment of landline/mobile phone bills, Aadhaar card, applying of passports, etc. A total of 38 services of 16 government departments and the facility to pay private mobile phones are provided here. It functions between 8.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m., on all days except national holidays. Deputy Commissioner, K. B. Shivakumar inaugurated the centre.
The officials said that as the first step, one centre has been opened in the city. In the coming days, at least four more would be opened for the people in different parts of the city.
While a Karnataka One centre has already been opened in 12 districts, the centres would be opened in 18 districts on the State in the coming financial year, the officials said.
With the opening of Karnataka One centre here, many people can reap the benefits, as this centre is open on almost all days and working hours are longer than other government offices where these services are provided. People will not have to visit different offices for different services as a majority of them will be provided at the centre, the officials said.
