Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur today launched three apps to facilitate MLAs, citizens and visitors to the front office at the CM Office in Shimla.
He said, “The Vidhayak e-Mitra Seva will provide MLAs online service on the mobile app Shikhar ki or Himachal.” He said the app would help MLAs in effectively monitoring and following up projects being implemented in their respective constituencies.

All these softwares had been developed by the National Informatics Centre, Shimla. The Chief Minister said that another app launched today was a ‘Visitor Management Software’ for citizens and people who want to take appointment from the CM.
Thakur said the MLA dashboard or Constituency Monitoring Dashboard would provide update of constituencies to MLAs related to developmental works, priorities, problems of citizens, references given to CM, details of beneficiaries of various schemes of the state government, development works of different schemes related to their constituencies at a click of button.
A workshop and presentation will be held to acquaint MLAs with these apps. He urged MLAs to make the maximum use of technology for development of their areas.
Later, the CM launched MyGov Himachal Digital News Letter. This monthly newsletter would carry information and write-ups regarding various policies, programmes and schemes of the state government and would be available on various platforms of social media.
