Mohan Yadav said that the ‘MP e-Seva Portal and Mobile App’ has laid a strong foundation for digital governance in Madhya Pradesh, making citizen services simpler, faster, and more accessible. 

He emphasized that digital technology has become the cornerstone of good governance, and the state is तेजी से advancing to establish a distinct identity at the national level.

The Chief Minister highlighted that the integrated platform eliminates the need for citizens to visit multiple departmental portals, offering all services on a single digital window. This has enhanced transparency, accountability, and efficiency in service delivery while saving time and resources for citizens.

Developed by the Centre of Excellence under the Madhya Pradesh State Electronics Development Corporation, the portal currently integrates over 1,700 services and schemes from 56 departments. 

The government has set an ambitious target of achieving 100% e-service delivery by 2026, positioning the state among India’s leading digital governance performers.

The platform enables end-to-end services—including eligibility checks, application submission, status tracking, and approvals—through a paperless and faceless process using Aadhaar-based authentication, e-sign, and digital certificates

Integration with the Samagra Social Security Mission portal allows auto-verification through unique family and member IDs, reducing delays and duplication. The auto-fetching of documents further simplifies the process by eliminating repeated uploads.

Designed with a mobile-first and citizen-centric approach, the portal supports multiple languages and accessibility features for differently-abled users, ensuring ease of use across urban and rural areas. So far, the platform has recorded over 2.14 lakh transactions, including thousands of applications and eligibility checks.
