What is e-Chhawani?
e-Chhawani is a citizen-centric project of Directorate General of Defence Estates, Ministry of Defence.
Under this initiative, Cantonment Boards provide online citizen services to more than 20 lakh residents across 62 Cantonments in the country through the unified e-Chhawani Portal.
The services provided by the portal include a grant of Trade licences, renewal of leases, water and sewerage connections, Births and Deaths certificates, appointments in cantonment hospitals among others.
These services are being provided in a paperless, faceless and cashless environment.
