What is the need for eSevanam portal?

At present, different departments, institutions and organisations have developed various applications for services and are hosted under different domains. It is very difficult for a user to memorise the URLs or browse through different URLs for accessing a service. This portal intends to provide a list of all the web applications and portals developed by different departments, along with the name of the application, purpose and other details required for availing the service. This helps users to easily access and search different applications with utmost ease.

Do we need to login to each application for availing services?

For availing services of different applications, users will be forwarded to the concerned application, when they click on the service in the eSevanam portal. The user then has to login to the concerned application for availing the service, if login is required. With the adoption of Kerala Single Sign-on as a single sign-on system, we're intending to provide a single login for accessing services offered by various departments. This process is currently being implemented for some services.

Do all applications/portals need login?

Not all applications require login for availing services. Certain services such as bill payments by different departments can be done without login to the concerned application. Nevertheless, the user has to visit the concerned application for availing the services.

What is Kerala Single Sign-on?

Kerala Single Sign-on is the single sign-on mechanism that would enable users to have a single login for availing services from different applications and portals of various departments, organisations and institutions. Some services which are listed in the eSevanam portal have enabled the Kerala Single Sign-on login system. For availing services from those applications, the user does not need to login individually to these applications separately.

What if I don't have a Kerala Single Sign-on account?

Some services, which have implemented Kerala Single Sign-on as the login system, do not allow other modes of login. Hence if you have not created a Kerala Single Sign-on account, you will not be able to login and avail such services. However you can access those services which have not enabled Kerala Single Sign-on login or which do not require login, if you do not have a Kerala Single Sign-on account.
