1) The DigiLocker is a key initiative under Digital India, and it is also a flagship program aimed at transforming India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.

2) Notably, DigiLocker provides citizens a sharable private space on a public cloud enabling availability of all documents/certificates provided on this cloud.

3) Targeted at paperless governance, DigiLocker is a platform for issuance and verification of documents/ certificates in a digital way, thus eliminating the use of physical documents.

4) Once passports are also uploaded in DigiLocker, details would be easily accessible to authorized users from any location, which would be useful especially in case of loss of passport.

5) The MEA said that in the upcoming Passport Seva Programme V2.0, the use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, Chat-Bot, Analytics, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) will help ease the citizen experience and expeditious service delivery.

The minister said that to give further fillip to the citizen-centric approach and enhance the passport service experience in a paperless mode, the Centre has now successfully integrated into the DigiLocker platform of the government.

He said that in the coming years, biometric passports would help improve immigration processes at airports that are equipped with automatic e-passport gates.
