AskUP

Features AskUP

Governments, both at the centre as well as the states, come out with innumerable schemes and services for citizens (called Government to Citizen - G2C - services).More often than not, citizens are simply unaware about these services and schemes, and hence, remain out of the safety net created by the government for them.
AskUP is an attempt to bridge this information gap.
AskUP is envisioned as a comprehensive, official repository of information about all G2C services, at the citizens’ fingertips.
Be it “how to get a ration card”, “how to register my marriage” or “how can I apply for scholarship for my children”, AskUp will provide the answer instantaneously.
Information that AskUP will provide includes G2C services from all departments such as rural development, agriculture, social welfare, revenue, electricity, health, municipal, police, education, industries, commercial tax etc.
It will have frequently asked questions, how to’s, eligibility criteria, documents needed, procedure, processing time, addresses of the concerned offices and official numbers of the officers responsible.
Citizens will benefit enormously from AskUP.
Firstly, it will save their time and money, as they will no longer need to run from pillar to post for information.
Also, since the information is from an authentic and official source, it will save them from touts.
Being bilingual, everyone can use AskUP.
Information being power in today’s world, AskUP will empower citizens by informing them of their rights, thus bringing down corruption.
