NEW WEB-ENABLED SINGLE WINDOW FACILITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS
The Pioneer
In a bid to attract more investment in the state and simplify the process for the same, the state government is set to launch a new web-interface single window facility especially for the entrepreneurs willing to set up industry in the state.
The move would also help streamlining the functioning of various departments associated with the process of industrialisation.
The facility, called ‘Nivesh-Mitra’ (Investment Friend), is proposed to be launched in 18 identified districts on July 6.
The selection of the 18 districts had been on the basis of level of industrial activity.
According to highly placed sources, Nivesh Mitra, the software available on the Internet, would facilitate faster and time-bound issuance of various approvals required by the applicants before setting up an enterprise in the state.
The new web-enabled software package would provide seamless interface between the entrepreneur and various departments issuing clearances, approvals and NoCs required for setting up of a project.
Online submission and updating of all forms would be made easier through this software.
The software, developed jointly by National Informatics centre (NIC) and Udyog Bandhu, would generate a unique reference number of the proposal after the submission of an application for various approval consequent to registration of entrepreneur on the website.
PILOT PROJECT SOON FOR E-GOVERNANCE IN WAKF ADMINISTRATION
New
DNA
Government will shortly launch a pilot project to introduce e-governance in Wakfs to streamline and energise the Wakf administration. Noting that the identification of Wakf properties spread over various states is a serious problem, minority affairs minister Salman Khursheed said, "there is a need for computerisation to maintain records of Wakf properties online. A pilot project for it will be launched very shortly."
The ministry has already sought funds for the project from the government. The fund will be disbursed to states, which in turn will give the money to respective Wakf Boards to start the computerisation process.
"It can be done in one or a few states first. Then other states could follow. Ultimately, everything must come to the e-governance model. Wakf properties should also come under e-governance like other properties which get registered," the minister said. He felt that the computerisation of Wakf properties will also help in dispute resolution.
The ministry's move comes in the backdrop of president Pratibha Patil's address to the joint sitting of Parliament on June 4 in which the issue of strengthening and modernising the administration of Wakf boards was mentioned.
The government is also working towards bringing a fresh legislation to streamline Wakf administration on the basis of recommendations of Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), which went into the issue.
BBMP WEBSITE DISAPPOINTS CITIZENS

People are finding it difficult to access BBMP website www.bbmpwards.org, a site which provides the option to file objections or suggestions online to the delimitation proposal. With accessing the website becoming difficult, the urban development department has so far received only 18 oppositions to the proposal. Many of them are related to the renaming of their wards. At least four objections had come from Kyasanahalli village, opposing the inclusion of the village in Kalkere ward from Mahadevapura zone.
The website was launched exclusively to help people file their objections and suggestions online, saving them the trouble of personally bringing it to the notice of the urban development department. But unfortunately, it has not been working."We have uploaded all the details on the website. It also contains applications in detail on the objections filed by people.
The maps and boundaries of the wards can also be seen," said RS Basappa, special deputy commissioner (enforcement). But B Shekar, a resident of Basavanagudi, said: "I have been trying to log on to the website for two days in vain. I request the BBBMP to update the website and provide the map and ward details."
