Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday launched the digital directory and mobile app of the Information department in Gorakhpur. With this, all the information related to public representatives, government departments and officials will be easily accessible on mobile phones.

“In the era of technology, we also need to change accordingly. It is only because of technology that all the schemes and benefits of the state government have been made available to people during the corona pandemic,” he said.

“Using technology, we can bring comprehensive reforms in every field. The Information department has taken an innovative initiative through the digital information diary and app,” the CM said.

Available free of cost on Google Play Store, officials of all government departments can be easily contacted through the UPIDINFO app.

Speaking on the occasion, Additional Chief Secretary Navneet Sehgal said it’s the first time that the Information department of any state has prepared its digital diary. Being manual, the information directory was not available to everyone but from now on, it will be easily accessible through the app,” Sehgal said.

The CM also unveiled a special cover of the Indian Postal department. The special cover is dedicated to the memories of Brahmalin Mahant Avaidyanath, who was the main priest of Gorakhnath Temple and five-time MP from Gorakhpur.

“The effort of the Postal department will help in carrying forward our heritage and tradition. It will also help our future generations know about our ancestors,” Yogi said.
