Answer:

Read Explanation:

The Lok Mitra Kendras (meaning 'Friend of the People Centers') are the name given to the Common Service Centres (CSCs) implemented in the state of Himachal Pradesh.

  • Objective: To extend the benefits of e-governance to citizens, particularly those in remote rural areas, by establishing technology-enabled service delivery points.

  • Model: They operate under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model at the Gram Panchayat (village council) level.

  • Services: LMKs act as front-end delivery points, offering a range of Government-to-Citizen (G2C), private, and social sector services. Examples include:

    • Payment of electricity and water bills.

    • Issuance of official documents like copies of land records (Nakal Jamabandi).

    • Booking of HRTC (bus) tickets.

    • Aadhaar services.

    • Filing public grievances.

The initiative aims to save citizens time and cost by providing essential services at their doorstep, improving transparency, and fostering local employment.
