Earlier, either my family members or I had to go to the local electricity office and the Public Health Engineering Organisation office to pay electricity and water bills. Waiting in the long queues was painful. Now, we go to the local Janseva Kendra and it saves a lot of time and energy
Lopamudra Dhal, school teacher
It’s good that I will not have to run from one office to another to pay my bills or holding tax and trade licence fees. A visit to the Janseva Kendra will solve my worries

These kendras will help people immensely as they will get many services under one roof
