Since its launch in March 2020, the MyGov Helpdesk (earlier known as MyGov Corona Helpdesk) on WhatsApp has served as a critical instrument in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. So far over 80 million people have reached out to the helpdesk, over 33 million vaccine certificates have been downloaded, and millions of vaccination appointments have been booked across the country.

With almost 100 Million+ people already registered on Digilocker and 5 Billion+ documents issued to date, the service on WhatsApp will digitally empower millions by helping them access authentic documents and information, right from within their phones, reported the Press Release.
