On the occasion of completion of three years of the Umang app, its international version has been launched. However, it is currently only for select countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, Singapore and New Zealand. The international version of the Umang app can be downloaded by going to the play store of these selected countries.
The international version of the Umang app was launched by Information and Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad through a virtual conference. According to a statement, this step will help Indian students studying abroad, NRIs and Indian tourists to avail the services of the Government of India at any time.
The specialty of Umang App (Unified Mobile Application for New Age Governance) is that different services of central and state governments and many other citizen-centric services are available on a single platform. As of 31 March 2020, there were 643 services on the Umang app, but now this number has increased to more than 2000.
