Of the 70 grama panchayats and 12 block panchayats in Kozhikode, less than 10 have updated professional websites
At a time when the entire State is witnessing a digital revolution in the wake of COVID-19 challenges, grama panchayats in Kozhikode district, which are expected to lead the technology-driven changes, are lagging behind even in the creation of portals for online service delivery. Of the 70 grama panchayats and 12 block panchayats, not even 10 have updated professional websites for citizen services. Though many local bodies have independent pages on the official page of the Kerala Local Self-Government Department, a majority of hyperlinks lead to a repository of stale data and figures. Some pages do not even open.More Related News
