Booking Kalyan Mandaps for a family function or any social occasion under the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation is now just a click away as the civic body has made the process online from today.
The online booking system for BMC Kalyan Mandaps at Sahid Nager (ground and first floor), VSS Nagar, Chandrasekharpur, Badagada, Unit-VIII, Sashtri Nagar, Buddheswari and Unit-VI has been developed by the Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL). Citizens can now book the venues by visiting Bhubaneswar.Me portal.
A citizen applying for BMC Kalyan Mandap will have to check real time availability of Kalyan Mandaps for the selected date range from the particular section under Bhubaneswar.Me portal, book the venue by paying booking fees through the multiple online payment options such as UPI, credit card and debit card. The confirmation of booking is communicated through a system-generated booking certificate and booking confirmation over the registered mail and mobile number.
BMC Commissioner and Managing Director and CEO of BSCL Sanjay Kumar Singh said, "The new initiative will help the citizens more and especially the senior citizens who are searching for venues for the marriages of their wards and also who want prime facilities in the city at affordable prices for other functions. The online option would also help in maintaining transparency in the service delivery.’’
It can be mentioned here that Bhubaneswar.Me portal under the Smart City is part of city’s governance and the Bhubaneswar city administration aims at bringing transparency through the initiative. This initiative will also help citizens to achieve common service requirements.
Bhubaneswar.Me is a unified service portal that currently delivers 100 plus citizen services from 16 government organisations that are divided into broad categories of public amenities such as search for safe public transport, access to hi-speed WIFI system, citizen services, city events, city maps and more.
