Punjab's Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann inaugurated the 'Punjab Ka Crorepati' online portal, a government platform that will answer queries related to the state and provide a chance to win a cash prize of one crore rupees.
Punjab's Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann officially opened the "Punjab Ka Crorepati" portal in Chandigarh on Thursday. The digital platform is designed to field questions from citizens about government services, policies and state affairs, providing authoritative answers in both Hindi and English.
The portal also incorporates a contest element: users who register and correctly answer a series of quizzes stand a chance to win a cash prize of one crore rupees. The prize pool will be funded by the state government as part of its push to promote digital engagement and transparency.
In his address, the CM highlighted the initiative as a step toward a more informed electorate and a means to harness technology for public service. He urged residents to register on the portal, participate in the quizzes, and use the platform for reliable information about Punjab's schemes and administration.
The launch was attended by senior officials from the Punjab Information Technology Department, who demonstrated the portal's features and explained the registration process. The portal will be operational 24/7 and will be regularly updated with new content and quiz rounds.
The government expects the portal to increase citizen interaction with state services and to serve as a model for other states seeking to combine information dissemination with citizen participation incentives.
