| Field Notes from Delhi Cantonment |
| The adoption numbers under the eChhawani programme are one of the highest among all DIGIT-enabled projects across India. As of June 2022, almost 90% of revenue collected from citizens across all Cantt Boards was collected through self-service mode, i.e, citizens made the payment themselves through online channels, rather than going to the Cantt Board office or helpdesks. Intrigued by this, Kinshu Dang visited one of the biggest Cantonment boards in the country - Delhi, and interacted with multiple employees at the Delhi Cantt Board, the Directorate General Defence Estates as well as citizens to understand what contributed to such high adoption numbers. |
