Government of Uttar Pradesh has extended the outreach of “Nivesh Mitra”, its pioneering initiative of unique online platform for entrepreneurs, to 27 more districts of the state to facilitate entrepreneurs in setting up industries in the state.
Introduced in July, 2009, “Nivesh Mitra” was conceived as a simple, entrepreneur centric web application enabling prospective entrepreneurs to get online clearances/NOCs with ease and minimal ‘running around’ from various Government departments in 18 districts of the state. As an ongoing process, efforts were made to incorporate various new functionalities to make the application more and more user friendly. These new functionalities include online payment facility through which entrepreneurs can make payment towards fee online. The system is already operational with Punjab National Bank and State Bank of India shall follow suit soon. With all these additionalities, the refurbished Nivesh Mitra in its new avatar (https://udyogbandhu.com) was dedicated to public on 13th October, 2011.
Considering that the journey of “Nivesh Mitra” does not get confined to only in 18 districts, Government has taken a plunge in taking more districts on its board with a view to broaden its territory. Now 27 districts have been added to its ambit (Government order). These districts are:
1 | Allahabad | 15 | Mainpuri |
2 | Azamgarh | 16 | Mau |
3 | Badaun | 17 | Meerut |
4 | Bagpat | 18 | Mirzapur |
5 | Bahraich | 19 | Muzaffarnagar |
6 | Bareilly | 20 | Pilibhit |
7 | Bijnore | 21 | Pratapgarh |
8 | Bulandshahr | 22 | Raebareli |
9 | Ferozabad | 23 | Ramabai Nagar (Kanpur Dehat) |
10 | Gorakhpur | 24 | Saharanpur |
11 | Hamirpur | 25 | Shahjahanpur |
12 | Hardoi | 26 | Sonbhadra |
13 | Jhansi | 27 | Varanasi |
14 | Kaushambi |
Nivesh Mitra will ensure continued value addition in the services rendered with transparency, accountability and swift responsiveness with a friendly and courteous approach in interactions with the esteemed customers.
The success of “Nivesh Mitra” has vitalized the state to set new targets that include broadening of its domain by continuous addition of new functionalities as are available with the well developed countries of the globe and facilitate them with the same amenities available in those advanced countries. The Government has concrete plan to further expand Nivesh Mitra soon to cover the entire state to ensure removal of unwarranted human interface completely and to make it as a robust dedicated helpline system and to act as a catalyst for entrepreneurs as an information hub.
Nivesh Mitra as a project is a giant leap towards future. It is a continuous process of reaching out to the entrepreneurs and investors. It’s a first step towards a journey of thousand miles! True to its name, it shall not only be an interface but a guiding collaborator that facilitates entrepreneurs and investors to leap towards a rich and fertile future.
