Assam has set a new benchmark in digital governance, emerging as one of India’s top-performing states under the Digital India Mission by achieving complete integration of all state e-services on the Sewa Setu platform with DigiLocker.

DigiLocker, the flagship initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), recognized the Government of Assam in October 2025 as the state with the highest number of integrated e-services. The achievement, widely lauded by DigiLocker across social media platforms, commended the entire team and the citizens for embracing digital transformation and making paperless governance a reality.

This milestone was made possible through Sewa Setu, the Government of Assam’s comprehensive citizen service delivery platform, implemented under the technical guidance of the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Assam State Unit. The platform facilitated seamless integration with DigiLocker, strengthening the state’s digital ecosystem and accelerating Assam’s journey toward complete digital empowerment.

The platform was initially integrated with 505 services, and an additional 57 were later added, bringing the total to 562 services. This milestone enables citizens to securely access essential documents and certificates in a fully paperless manner, further enhancing efficiency, transparency, and trust in public service delivery.

At the National Conference on DigiLocker, organized by the National e-Governance Division (NeGD) and MeitY on 4th November, 2025 in New Delhi, Assam was honoured with the ‘Integration Excellence’ recognition for its large-scale implementation of DigiLocker across various services for enhanced security and transparency.

This recognition underscores Assam’s leadership in adopting advanced digital solutions and driving transformative change in public service delivery. It stands as a testament to the visionary leadership of the Government of Assam, the collaborative efforts of its digital governance teams, and the pivotal role of the Sewa Setu team under the technical guidance of NIC Assam in enabling large-scale e-service integration for citizen empowerment.
