Bengal Government launches document-scanning app 'SelfScan'
Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee has launched a document-scanning app developed by the West Bengal government's Information and Technology Department. The app has been named 'SelfScan' which is free-of-cost and ad-free.
She further stated that the information from the app will not be stored in any server and is protected. During the announcement Banerjee said, “We have heard recently about this country's scanning app and that country's scanning app and whether we should be using them. I think Bengal is the first state to come up with such an app. We should empower ourselves. No need to go outside." This reminds many of Prime Minister Modi's Aatmanirbhar slogans. "This is what patriotism is. What Bengal thinks today, the world thinks tomorrow," she further stated.
The Chief Minister also announced a five-year scheme to provide direct and clean water to over two crore people in the state. The scheme, called 'Jol Swopno' will cost the exchequer Rs 58,000 crore, Banerjee said. She also announced a Plasma Blood Bank that will be set up at the Kolkata Medical College.
