These e-Sampark Centres in Chandigarh were launched by the Chandigarh Administration to offer citizens a single-window service centre for accessing different government services. The centres have facilitated easy access to government services in the sense that citizens can pay their utility bills, obtain certificates, file their complaints, and use different government facilities without visiting different offices.
As time passed, e-Sampark has become widespread in the city and has enabled faster and easier access to government services.
