Over 25,000 compliances have been reduced by the Union ministries, states and UTs so far to improve ease of living and doing business, a top government official said on Wednesday.
These compliances were reduced during the last phase of an initiative that ended on August 15 this year.
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade DPIIT, an arm of the commerce and industry ministry, has started a new initiative to identify the pain points for businesses and common people and reduce or eliminate those burdens.
The DPIIT is holding a National Workshop on the Next Phase of Reforms for reducing Compliance Burden on December 22 to improve ease of living and doing business. More than 25,000 compliances were reduced in the last phase, which ended on August, as a result of participation from across central ministries and states Union Territories UTs. This is not the end of the journey, there are still compliance burdens, DPIIT Secretary Anurag Jain said at the inauguration of the workshop.
Three groups will submit their report to the cabinet secretary on three themes. He said the themes are grievance redressal, national single sign-on for efficient delivery of citizen services, and breaking silos and enhancing synergies among government departments.
How do we reduce grievances to the satisfaction of people if grievances can't be resolved or accepted? Jain said something.
The session on breaking silos would focus on integration between central ministries departments and state single window systems, and single business ID.
The session on single sign-on would deal with deliberations on onboarding all citizen services by central and state government services under a single roof and create a national digital profile for all citizens that would be used to pre-fill government forms and as a tool to citizen benefit welfare discovery.
The third session on grievance redressal would focus on topics such as the use of next-generation technology in effective grievance redressal, and accountability-based mechanisms for enhanced effectiveness of redressal quality.
