· System to serve as a digital bridge between public and government: CM

To streamline and simplify meetings with the Chief Minister, a digital gate pass system has been introduced alongside the existing entry mechanism at the H.P. State Secretariat. The online system automatically generates a downloadable digital gate pass, eliminating the need for manual paperwork. For visitors arriving without prior appointments, gate passes can also be generated directly at the reception. It incorporates advanced identity verification features, including OTP-based authentication and Aadhaar-enabled face authentication. Entry verification will be carried out by security personnel through barcode scanning on the digitally generated gate passes.

Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today launched the new integrated digital platform, ‘Unified Digital Calendar and Appointment Management System’, aimed at streamlining appointment scheduling and official meeting coordination with the Chief Minister.
