Duare Sarkar, an initiative taken up by the Mamata Banerjee government, has become a great success. Duare Sarkar camps are held across the state, even in the far off areas. People come to the camps to avail benefits of various social welfare schemes like Swasthya Sathi, Lakshmir Bhandar and other pension schemes. Caste certificates are also issued from such camps. Earlier, it used to take several months to get such certificates. Before the camps, announcements are held through the public address system about the documents that are required to get the caste certificates. If the documents are genuine, then the certificates are issued within a week.

Earlier, the state government's e-governance project e-Abgari, which focuses on improving efficiency and transparency, had won Digital India Award, instituted by the Centre, for innovative steps in e-governance. eAbgari project is one of the strategic administrative reform initiative of West Bengal State Excise Directorate.
