Why it matters
Digitizing essential civil registration services reduces bureaucratic friction and improves administrative transparency for urban residents.
To provide citizens with faster, transparent, and citizen-friendly services, the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) has made the process of issuing Birth and Death Certificates available online, said Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH), GVMC, E.N.V. Naresh Kumar.
Speaking at an awareness programme held at the GVMC Head Office on Wednesday, Dr. Naresh Kumar stated that citizens no longer need to visit GVMC Zonal offices to obtain Birth and Death Certificates.
