The project also involves identification of the main barriers/challenges restricting utilisation of e-services under the initiative. It further examines the common complaints of users and suggests measures which need to be incorporated to make the system more user-friendly. Further, to popularize the Digital India initiative the project team is also making an android based mobile App and a website. Also, a Facebook page is being used as a forum for e-debating on the initiative.

Moreover, a few workshops have already been organized under the project to spread awareness about the Government’s Digital India Initiative. On April 11, 2016, the college organized a one-day inter-college Faculty Development Programme in collaboration with Center for Development of Advanced Computing, Pune, on digilocker and e-Sign services. A live demo on use of Digilocker for saving important documents will also be shown.
