The government has invited tenders from service centre agencies (SCAs) — primarily corporates, NGOs and trusts — to set up such centres in 4,562 villages across the state. The tenders floated today will be opened in June.
Addressing a distinguished gathering on the occasion, MCA Secretary Komal Anand said that "the focus of the MCA-21 programme is to bringing about a fine balance of stakeholder requirements, between facilitation and control, as a blend of well-defined goals and performance metrics." Describing the project as a "pioneering e-governance initiative," implemented at a cost of Rs 343 crore and completed in 60 weeks, is aimed at benefiting Indian companies, especially the SMEs immensely, Ms. Anand said adding that its benefit to businesses lay in the fact that it would enable registration of a company and filing statutory documents quickly and easily in a convenient manner.
In India, if it is tough to begin a venture, it is even tougher to end it.
If the ministry of company affairs has its way, business ventures can be opened and closed at the click of a mouse.
States like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are ahead of others in the field of e-governance because they have exemplified successful implementation of projects which need to be replicated elsewhere.
