The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has introduced a new smart feature called ‘NearMe’ in its MyGHMC App, designed to help citizens quickly locate essential civic services and facilities around their current location.
The feature aims to make municipal services more accessible and citizen-friendly by providing instant information about various GHMC facilities within proximity to the user’s location. Citizens can now access this information with just a single tap on their mobile devices.
The NearMe feature displays a comprehensive list of key services and facilities operated by the municipal corporation. Users can locate GHMC offices, including ward offices and circle offices, making it easier for residents to reach out to local administrative bodies for their civic needs.
The application also helps citizens find essential community facilities such as parks, playgrounds, Annapurna centers, and Urban Health Centres. These services are crucial for daily life, and the new feature eliminates the need for extensive searching or asking for directions.
Additionally, the NearMe section provides information about public toilets and Animal Care Centres, addressing both sanitation needs and animal welfare concerns in the city. The feature also includes locations of sports facilities, function halls, heritage buildings, and other community spaces.
The MyGHMC App has been developed as part of the municipal corporation’s digital initiative to bring civic services closer to citizens. The app serves as a one-stop platform for various municipal services, and the addition of the NearMe feature enhances its utility significantly.
By leveraging location-based technology, the feature ensures that citizens can access information about nearby facilities in real-time. This is particularly useful for newcomers to the city, tourists, or residents who need to quickly locate a specific service or facility.
The GHMC has emphasized that the feature is designed to make civic services easy and accessible, putting essential information right at citizens’ fingertips. The initiative reflects the corporation’s commitment to digital governance and improving the quality of municipal service delivery.
Citizens can download the MyGHMC App from their respective app stores and explore the NearMe feature to discover various municipal facilities around them. The app is available for both Android and iOS platforms, ensuring wide accessibility across different devices.
The municipal corporation has encouraged residents to try the NearMe feature and explore the range of GHMC facilities available in their vicinity, making it easier to access civic services whenever needed.
