•  

---

BANGALORE, India, April 25: To ease the procedure of distributing e-passes for essential goods and service  contributors during lockdown, eGov foundation has unveiled COVID e-Pass system. The platform is anticipated to diminish the functional load of government officials and assist in guaranteeing a flawless supply of essential goods and services during the lockdown. 

The COVID e-Pass system is a trust-based application where the state nodal officers must authenticate one-time registration pleas from the companies along with setting the everyday quota of passes for every organisation. The designated authority from the company is then permitted to generate bulk passes for company employees/associates, within the stipulated quota, on their own without having to approach the district administration for inter-city movement. The pass is provided to the applicant in pdf and SMS with a directive to carry a valid photo ID. State Nodal Officers will function with police authorities for authentication and validation of the e-Pass during the commute.

This simple to utilize and intelligent system has already been up and functioning in Delhi, Haryana, Telangana, Odisha, Punjab, Puducherry & Karnataka

State nodal officer for Karnataka, Shri Kapil Mohan (IAS), Principal Secretary Infrastructure Development, articulated satisfaction with the functioning of the system and observed that the solution will offer succour to companies for inter-district and inter-state movement of personnel for managing countrywide supply chains.

The e-Pass platform has also been combined with Aarogya Setu, government's COVID-19 contact tracing app which has an anticipated one million new users registering every hour, and a total of 70 million registrants. The first stage of this combination will allow the e-Pass system to poll Aarogya Setu to curb the health indicator of the individuals before generating the ePass. The copy of the ePass is also deposited in the individual's Aarogya Setu app for effortless and verification.

"The creation of the National e-Pass platform in less than a week is a beautiful moment. Firstly it manifests how digital infra like eGov's DIGIT platform can be leveraged to create highly contextual solutions at scale and speed. It also brings out the power of co-creation that foundations like ours are uniquely placed to catalyze - we collaborated with volunteers from iSpirit, Aragoya Setu team at MeitY, State Governments, AWS and Consumer products companies to build this solution. And finally, this is a testament of the team that worked on this initiative - the team got together in an instant to respond to a real problem India faced. The team put the mission ahead of themselves and put in an extreme amount of hard work, while going through the same stresses of managing groceries, worrying about their loved ones", observed Viraj Tyagi, CEO, eGov Foundation

Hiren Doshi, VP, eGov Foundation noted "Ensuring the availability and seamless supply of essential items across the nation, we are working with States and have  developed a simple mechanism for them to issue the permits digitally with ease. Noting that the availability of essential goods take place through consumer product companies, organized retail stores and e-commerce companies, this platform will allow companies to generate digital passes for their employees and ensure smooth supply of daily use essentials, amidst this lockdown."
