New areas are being brought under e-governance and Digital India Mission in Uttar Pradesh and the National Informatics Centre (NIC) is putting in efforts to make it possible very soon.
The NIC is a unit under Electronics and Information Technology Ministry of Government of India and is engaged in providing digital services in UP on an all-India basis. At present, it is providing several services in Chief Minister’s Office, prominent among which are Jan Sunwai Portal (Integrated Grievance Redressal System or IGRS), CM Helpline 1076, CM Relief Fund Portal, CMIS Portal, e-Cabinet, Nivesh Mitra, anti-land mafia portal and anti-corruption portal.
In coming days, the Protocol Postal will be launched to take care of all protocol related issues. These include approval of tours of all dignitaries coming to UP, their transport, security arrangements, boarding and lodging arrangements etc.
All related documents and bills etc will also be uploaded online for quick disposal. In addition, it is also proposed to connect citizens to e-Cabinet portal. Remarkably, the Jansunwai Portal (IGRS) has been hugely successful in the state. So far, 3,54,37,467 complaints have been registered on it, out of which 3,48,87,377 have been disposed of.
It also has provision that citizens can register their application, monitor its progress, send reminders and suggestions. On CM Helpline 1076, so far 1.01 crore complaints have been registered out of which 96 per cent have been disposed of.
Through the CM Relief Fund (CMRF) Portal, so far Rs 393.72 crore has been disbursed among 22,006 beneficiaries.
The progress of industrial investment proposals worth more than Rs 1 crore is monitored through the CMIS Portal. Out of 13,773 such proposals, 5,132 have been completed and work is in progress on 8,641 projects. E-Cabinet is a very significant service which enables remote participation of ministers in meetings through video conferencing, with electronic meeting papers, and monitoring the actions taken as per the decisions.
“The chief ministers, ministers, chief secretary, additional chief secretary, principal secretary, secretary information and other secretaries concerned are connected to it,” a government spokesman said.
The Nivesh Mitra has played a very important role in bringing industrial investments to the state. On this portal, 354 services of 29 government departments have been integrated. It facilitates complete end-to-end solutions without any physical touch points for application submission, online payment, tracking and monitoring, approvals, online availability of approved certificates/NOCs, etc, as also consolidated payment for all submitted applications.
Uttar Pradesh ranks second in Ease of Doing Business after implementation of Nivesh Mitra.
Through the Anti-Land Mafia Portal, so far 3,26,342 cases have been received and out of these, 3.22 lakh cases have been disposed of, leading to freeing of 49,516 hectares land in rural areas, and 1,52,54,875 square feet land in urban areas.
