With the objective of streamlining the functioning of Udyog bandhu, the UP government is mulling to bring an Act which envisages stringent action against departments for not complying with the timeline prepared by the Nivesh Mitra.
‘This is a harsh step that the government would take to make UP the preferred investment destination,’ said a state government spokesman in Lucknow.
Significantly, the state government is also contemplating to engage a ‘knowledge partner’ for long-term proactive engagement with industries and investors by showcasing the new ‘Infrastructure & Industrial Investment Policy 2012’ and strengthening Information Technology driven initiatives including Nivesh Mitra in this regard.
‘Steps will also be taken to implement ‘e-Biz mission’ mode project that provides 49 services including State and Central government departments along with new interactive web applications and portals to provide important data to potential investors at the click of a mouse,’ the spokesman said.
Proposals to this effect will soon be presented to the State Cabinet for approval. The decisions regarding this was taken at a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary, Jawed Usmani.
Taking stock of the present arrangements and working of Udyog Bandhu, the Chief Secretary said that an ideal arrangement should be prepared to empower Udyog Bandhu to implement decisions regarding investmentand industrial growth.
‘Functions and objectives of all state bodies and instruments engaged in investment and trade promotion should be properly defined,’ Usmani added.
