The Uttar Pradesh (UP) government is further strengthening its already robust single-window clearance system, which is aimed at improving ease of doing business (EODB) and ease of living for the state's residents. It is also at work to link its micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and its startup ecosystem with big industries and manufacturers to achieve its objective of becoming a trillion-dollar economy.
Participating at the Business Standard Samriddhi round table in Lucknow recently, Invest UP CEO and industrial development secretary Abhishek Prakash said the state government's approach to improve its EODB ranking has been three-pronged, comprising institutional and technological reforms and a targeted approach towards carrying out these reforms. Prakash said that under institutional reforms the single window system has under its ambit 43 departments, which resolve issues from business processes to ease of living, from distributing no-objection certificates, or NOCs, from the state Pollution Control Board to birth certificates to its citizens.
"Our portal Nivesh Mitra is the largest portal in the country with 491 services online and another dozen are in the testing mode," Prakash said. More than 1.3 million NOCs have been distributed through this single window system, the most in the country, and our disposal rate is 97.22 per cent, which is also the most in the country, Prakash said.
