What is a Document Uploader?

Document uploader will be used by ULB employees to upload the document which will then be visible to the citizen in the documents section.

Why do we need Document Uploader??

In an effort to increase the engagement of citizen with mSeva platform, mSeva is providing a feature to view important documents related to his ULB such as acts, circulars, citizen charters etc. Hence ULB employees should be able to add the documents so that those documents will be visible to the citizen. 

Who is it for?

This feature is for the citizens. Also, there is a provision to upload documents from the employee side.
