Lucknow, January 5: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has launched a software and a mobile application to facilitate e-filing and online hearing of complaints and second appeals in the State Information Commission.

Technology as a Powerful Medium for Change

Addressing the Food Grain Scam
