These registered candidates and their families can easily search for real-time slot availability, receive OTPs, book their vaccination dates, and know about their status on the PMGDisha portal. PMGDisha works with Panchayats across the country to enable Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLE) to operate CSCs (Common Service Centres) for digital skilling initiatives. Thus, PMGDisha’s comprehensive last-mile connectivity and reach are being efficiently leveraged to create awareness among individuals in the remotest areas about the vaccine drives and ensure successful inoculation.

The integration offers several advantages to the vaccination registration platform, including real-time data availability and unlimited searches for vaccine slots. Additionally, it operates on a software design pattern called Serverless Architecture or FaaS (Function as a service), backed by Amazon AWS’s DynamoDB. It also adds heightened scalability to the CoWIN platform by allowing applications to be disintegrated into its functions and developed and deployed individually, enabling seamless CoWIN notifications on the mobile devices of the end-users.
