Expressing his concern over delay in the Single Window system in place with the Industry Department, Chief Minister Raghubar Das has instructed Chief Secretary Rajbala Verma to review the proposals coming on weekly basis.
The instruction in that direction has come during a review meeting on Thursday which brought into fore the pendency of applications coming in for setting up industries in the State or even for mining.
“The Chief Minister was concerned about speeding up the matters so that files can be moved quickly. He told officials to ensure that the applications coming for investment in the State do not remain pending and thus the Chief Secretary would review the proposals,” said an official of Industry Department.
The State, after securing third place on the ‘ease of doing business’ front last year, has slipped lower down the order this time. The Chief Minister also asked the officials to conduct survey of minerals to look for their further possibilities and presence. A geological museum would also be built for students along with a mine map of the State.
During the review meeting, the Chief Minister also directed the IT Department to open e-offices at five Departments including Industry, Personnel. All the files there would be online to ensure their speedy movement, the Chief Minister instructed the officials.
In another important direction, the Chief Minister told the officials to start wi-fi facilities at important towns of the State on pilot basis very soon. Measures to deal with cyber crime control, strengthening cyber security, digital online classes attaching schools of panchayats would also be taken.
